What is the author's style in Gold Boy, Emerald Girl: Stories by Yiyun Li?

The language of the stories is basic English. All the stories were originally written in another language, but the translation has been made to such an extent that a reader might not be aware that it was not originally written in English. There are few foreign words in any of the stories and those that do appear are commonly known or used in such a way that the reader has little difficulty understanding its meaning.
