Not what you'd expect from a figure from Himalayan folklore, now is it? "Bliss Montage" is a collection of short stories told with what's become her signature sting of wit and satire by Ling Ma, author of the highly acclaimed novel "Severance." And she joins us now. A Yeti not only comes to life but splashes on Old Spice and lights up American Spirit cigarettes. There's a recreational drug called "G" that makes people invisible, which seems fun at first, but winds up concealing other problems. A woman lives in a Los Angeles house that's stocked with 100 of her former boyfriends. You turn the pages of "Bliss Montage," Ling Ma's new book of short stories, and find the world you thought you knew shaken up and rearranged. ![]()
