I found it funny. I know -- the portrayals of Joan's colleagues and their projections onto her interested me. Ditto the brother and his wife, and the interfering neighbour. And I found it sad (as her unit and the hospital is overcome by the pandemic). She's a very unusual fictional character. Difficult to pin down.&nbsp;</p> <p>I haven't read Chemistry, so can't comment on that.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weike-wangs-joan-is-okay#post-2302167 Sun, 15 Jan 2023 00:51:30 +0000 MsMaven 2302167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anyone read either of Wang's books? I'm going to review <i>Joan is Okay&nbsp;</i>for a book club this week. I'm amazed at the differences in opinion of so many of the online reviews I've read.&nbsp;</p> <p>In an effort to understand why, I also just read <i>Chemistry,&nbsp;</i>which I found more difficult. Reviewers call Wang's style "spare" and "sparse." I agree with that.&nbsp;</p> <p>Joining this book club has opened a different world of books to me. Usually I read mysteries or non-fiction.</p> <p>I wonder if anyone else here has an opinion on Joan to share with me.&nbsp; </p>
