From a Colombian slum to the streets of Tehran, seven characters in seven stories struggle with very particular Swords of Damocles in Le's accomplished debut. The story's ironies are masterfully controlled by Le, and reverberate through the rest of this peripatetic collection. Taken together, the stories cover a vast geographic territory and are filled with exquisitely painful and raw moments of revelation, captured in an economical style as deft as it is sure.
