A review by bugle
Flowers of Mold by Ha Seong-nan
Did not finish book. Stopped at 82%.
I really tried to enjoy this, even made myself keep reading past the weird, possibly transphobic plot twist. I simply didn’t find any of the stories nearly unsettling enough to be interesting and kept cycling between boredom, confusion, and frustration. Ultimately, I stopped reading in the middle of the second-to-last story when the narrative turned to the 26yo MC noticing (in great detail) the legs and crotches of a group of high school girls. Can’t rate it because I didn’t finish, but I’d give it 2.5 stars.
