“A Flawless Silence”<\/strong><\/span>
\nby Yiyun Li<\/span>
\nfrom the April 23, 2018 issue of\u00a0The New Yorker<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/h3><\/div>

\"\"T<\/span>his week we get another story from short story master Yiyun Li. Though Li is widely considered a master \u2014 I consider her a master, too \u2014 her stories haven't necessarily been well received here in the discussion. Let's see if that changes this time around.<\/p>\n

I'm not at a place where I can look up much in the way of introduction on the story, and I don't think Li needs any introduction. Her latest book is a memoir called\u00a0Dear Friend, from My Life I Write to You in Your Life<\/em>. I haven't read it, but I know some love it. Surely there's another story collection on the way.<\/p>\n

But let's get to work on \"A Flawless Silence.\" Please comment below! Leave your thoughts on the story, on Li's work in general, etc.<\/p>\n<\/div>
