Review Detail of NingZuoYouXiaYu in Cup of Regret

The thing with Jenjibread is that she is just such a well-rounded writer that she can switch between perspectives/point-of-views naturally. She has a deep understanding of different genres and what makes a book a fantasy, versus a historical, versus a modern tale. And that understanding, which one can only imagine to be instinctual, and thus a result of talent, makes her writing so multi-faceted. This new work of her brings to mind a mixture of classics, whether it be Greek Mythology, English poetry of the 17th Century or even the Torah/Bible, to which she gives a postmodern taste. She touches the subjects of death, fate, the afterlife in such a way that it becomes close to us millennials who rather spend our days binge-watching Netflix than thinking about what comes next when our bodies hit the floor. Themes that are so modern, such as the ridiculous real estate prices, the fact that in today's job market there is a consistent change in skills that are needed to get and keep a job, which puts so much pressure on the younger generation, the desire to be creative but to always have something stifling that creativity, are explored with wittiness, humor and a tacit understanding between the reader and the author that these themes actually transcend times and ages. ABSOLUTELY worth a read!!! I recommend with vigor (yes, VIGOR)!!!
