These stories glitter and pulse
Dantiel W. Montiz
In her singular, electrifying style, K-Ming Chang peels back questions of body, power, and identity, and the relationships of Asian American women, with vivid imagination.
A stream of women adjust to American life by sneaking kisses from women at temple and buying tubs of vanilla ice cream to prepare for citizenship tests. Ghost-cousins cross space, seas, and skies to haunt their living cousin. Two girls explore each other's bodies for the first time in the belly of a plastic shark.
Brimming with moths and mothers, nine-headed birds and storm-chasers, these queer, fabulist tales delve viscerally into myth and memory,corporeality and ghostliness, beauty, and the grotesque.
