Wednesday's Child is indeed full of woe, but threading through the sadness is Li's uncanny ability to turn the ordinary extraordinary.
Written over the span of a decade, this new collection of stories follows an unforgettable cast of characters striving for an ordinary existence until doing so becomes unsustainable as the surface cracks and the grand mysterious forces-- death, violence, estrangement-- come to light.

I work in the circulation department and mostly read mysteries, short stories, graphic novels and books about comedy and pop culture. I also enjoy walking, yoga and watching TV— a lot of TV. British shows are my favorite, and involve debates with my husband about what else we've seen the actors in and then looking them up on the internet.
