Bliss Montage is a 2022 short story collection by Chinese American writer Ling Ma, published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux.
[4] "Tomorrow" observes a woman's troubled, disturbing pregnancy, which her doctor explains as the result of toxic substances in her hygienic products.
"[7] The New York Times called the book "a striking collection that peddles in the uncanny and the surreal", albeit an at-times inconsistent one that lacked the "zest" of Ma's debut novel, Severance.
[8] Los Angeles Times lauded the book's feelings of loneliness and liminality with interesting concepts.
[10] Wired observed Ma's combination of modern woman angst in literature—"women characters who move through cleanly depicted consumerist landscapes with emotional dampers on, either too jaded, too exhausted, or too bored by modern life"—with the additional alienation of being Asian American, which was especially noticed in the "masterful, Rashomon-layered spin on the Asian American mother-daughter conflict" in "Peking Duck".
