"Narrator Katharine Chin nails the dark humor and flat tone of this bizarre and fascinating short story collection."- AudioFile

A new creation by the author of Severance, Bliss Montage crashes through our carefully built mirages.

What happens when fantasy tears 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. A woman lives in a house with all her ex-boyfriends. A toxic friendship grows up around a drug that makes you invisible. An ancient ritual might heal you of anything—if you bury yourself alive.

These and other scenarios investigate the ways that the outlandish and the ordinary are shockingly, deceptively, heartbreakingly alike.

A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux.

The story G is everything. The whole collection is wonderful, but this story should be in every high school curriculum. The structure, pacing, and vivid, grounding bits of detail are what I most love in her speculative fiction. It is not the extraordinary, but the mundane that makes her work so believable and her characters so alive. I read Severance shortly before COVID and her imagining of New York in a pandemic was eerily prescient in detail and attitude. She again creates a canvas of the familiar and then slips in the wildly fictitious detail like a dog pill wrapped in a bit of cheese. I couldn’t love her work more- she is the voice of her generation for me.

Ling Ma hooked me with Severance, and this collection doesn’t disappoint.

The stories are very novel. I like the drug setting a lot and I think the symbolism is relatable.

Audio defect is annoying

Prescient, entirely unique, devastating and so often LOL funny…. And the performance is so on point, timing, tone - I couldn’t stop listening. A newly minted Ling Ma fan.

Loved every story.

Definitely was sold on this book after about one minute in. It was fun, funny, well written and very creative.

Such wonderfully told stories

Came here from Severance. These were all excellent but I'll re-listen to Peking Duck for years to come.

Beautiful, strange work

Please note, as of September 21, 2022 this audiobook has numerous audio glitches where words and sometimes sentences are played twice at slightly different times which creates a weird / disorienting echo effect. It isn’t so bad that you can’t enjoy the stories. But it is occasionally quite distracting. Hopefully this book will be fixed soon. I have contacted audible about this issue, and please if you are interested in this book, do the same so we can get this book fixed.

I will update this review when I have confirmed that the book is fixed.

Audiobook is defective

A book full of middles. Not my favorite. I needed some more to the stories or at least some resolution.

Very imaginative

This is not literature. It’s gibberish. Maybe she made Adam read her manuscript? Yikes. This was painful and didn’t have an ounce of craft.

Awful

Se ha producido un error. Vuelve a intentarlo dentro de unos minutos.
Most of the stories end without any indication of where the plot was supposed to end up - the audio itself was sentences you can tell were inserted post production. This book is heavy on poorly done symbolism.

Don’t Recommend
