You know the sections in George Saunders' amazingly powerful book "Lincoln in the Bardo" in which he manages to tell a story-within-a-story by sharing a collection of snippets? Khong, who has a very different voice (which I loved) and a very different style (which I also loved), does something similar. But her collections of anecdotes and observations are even less obviously connected than, for example, Saunders' "news" accounts, which makes her achievement - a story that makes us laugh and also tear up (as did "Lincoln in the Bardo") - pretty remarkable, imho. 
 I highly recommend this book. I stayed up much later than I should have because I didn't want to put it down. It's smart and fun (really! A fun book about Alzheimer's!), and I look forward to reading what Rachel Khong tackles next.
