That was my first thought/wish also. The whole "unreliable narrator" clever bit. But I didn't think the author has that kind of literary prowess to pull that off, judging by the overabundance of cliches and literary tropes employed from page 1 thru page 10. LOL. Believe me: I so wish I falsely accused him. @ Jane

A new good friend reassured me that the landlords are not there because the plot calls for it. I was hoping for Zombies or serial killers (read: Inscrutable) or that the Chinese man turned out to be his father. But no such luck. @ mrsblogalot

Thank you so much for visiting here. I rather enjoy your blog. And I envy the friendship between the three of you in real life. You don't find such bond easily, esp. since people move a lot in this country, and it is so darn big! I know. I wish I were more Inscrutable too. Many people have told (warned?) me that I wear my heart on my sleeves. I wish I were a Dragon Lady then all those men at work would forever kowtowing to my power... Bawhahaha! So here I am: not a Dragon Lady, and not a Lotus Blossom either. I am just a wannabe blogger... @ Ellie

I visited yours and I have been hitting my head on the wall for missing it all this time. (I have been saying that a lot lately. I hope I don't come out to be insincere, etc.) (The fact that I worry about myself being insincere shows how neurotic I am...) (Yes, I admit! I am a disciple of Woody Allen! Lock me up!) Now change of subject: What did the little bastard say to your daughter? Oh, I hope the school did something about it. Our school gave the kid that said to a girl, "You are not allowed to play with us because you have dark skin" (This happened in 2008! In a grade school!) a week-long detention. Where did they learn this? From the grown-ups in their house! Ugh. Now change of subject before I explode: I am sorry for your friend's loss. I couldn't stop crying when I scrolled down and saw the picture of the boy. He looked so much like my youngest: brown hair, brown eyes. I don't know how one recovers from such loss, if ever. Your friend is in my thoughts. Here is the deal: whenever you feel like you need to rant/vent about something. Just come over. This can be your therapy sessions too! Curse words are not only allowed, but encouraged. Oh oh oh, another thing. Love love love your post on "Monsters". Ever wondering why I can't keep up on my NaBloPoMo thing? I spent too much time talking to people!!! ;-) @ TheKitchenWitch

Kudos to you for calling him out so directly. Sometimes the young generation just does not know the histories, etc. The interviews done with young people in Europe in conjunction with the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall are alarming to me, if not downright scary. "It has nothing to do with me. I wasn't even born then." Many of them said. Where I grew up, it is a mandatory school field trip to the museum where pictures taken in Asia during WWII are on permanent display. Disturbing to the young children? Oh, yes, very. But now I wonder: maybe my ass of a government back home may have been onto something... @ Jamie

I've really got to learn to be more inscrutable. Just to, you know, mix it up. Cool blog. Well, at least he showed you his true colors on page 11 — that’s not too deep a commitment.

I’ve really got to learn to be more inscrutable. Just to, you know, mix it up.

Cool blog.
