Description
What happens when fantasy tears through the screen of the everyday to wake us up? Could that waking be our end?
In Bliss Montage, Ling Ma brings us eight wildly different tales of people making their way through the madness and reality of our collective delusions: love and loneliness, connection and possession, friendship, motherhood, the idea of home.
From a woman who lives in a house with all of her ex-boyfriends, to a toxic friendship built around a drug that makes you invisible, to an ancient ritual that might heal you of anything if you bury yourself alive, these and other scenarios reveal that the outlandish and the everyday are shockingly, deceptively, heartbreakingly similar.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Ling Ma's Bliss Montage is praised for its surreal blend of fantasy and reality, creating a compelling exploration of human emotions within the context of globalised capitalism. With themes of home, belonging, and relationships, the stories are both fantastical and grounded, capturing the tension between the familiar and the extraordinary. Critics appreciate Ma's unique, subversive storytelling, which is rich with intelligence, dry humour, and an acute observational style, often described as haunting, artful, and delightfully strange.
