Re my review of Ted Chiang’s book Exhalation: Stories: 

“Was really happy to see you’re enjoying Exhalation. Which story was your favorite?” – SC

My response: I can’t say I had a favorite. They were all great in the same way. I felt like I was reading a new kind of fiction. Not experimental, which I generally don’t like, but a style of writing stories that was fresh. That made me feel like I was looking at a familiar situation from a new perspective. It was clear that Ted Chiang is in full command of his craft.
