May Selection: Kinder Than Solitude by Yiyun Li

...The lingering taste of “Kinder Than Solitude” is a pervasive bitterness over the crushed and wasted dreams of the teenagers of 1989. The unsolved crime that haunts this novel is the bodies driven from [Tiananmen] Square on a flatbed tricycle, whose dark ghosts cast shadows everywhere you look, even in the gleaming China of today [NYT]

Brilliantly written, a breathtaking page-turner, Kinder Than Solitude resonates with provocative observations about human nature and life. In mesmerizing prose, and with profound insight, Yiyun Li unfolds this remarkable story, even as she explores the impact of personality and the past on the shape of a person’s present and future. [Goodreads]
