Among an impressive body of dramatic works, P.S. Lim managed to slip this one by. A collection of short stories beginning with the heartening memory of the author's arrival in the States, Lim continues to enchant us throughout with his repeated attempts at mini-bildungsromans. By the time the last tale is told (you can't help but notice that autobiography rings aloud in the majority of these stories), the reader has unwittingly developed a crush on the author and his courageous battles with what we take for granted each and every day. A soild read.
