Publisher Description: An anthology of Asian diasporic writers musing on the notion of home--and the possibilities of outsiderhood and belonging. "I read this book and see my people--see us--and feel, in our collective outsiderhood, at home." --Ocean Vuong, Night Sky with Exit Wounds "To be from nowhere is the state of Asian diaspora, but there is also a wild humor and imagination that comes from being underestimated, rarely counted, hardly seen. Here, we begin to draw the hopeful outlines of a collective history for those so disparate yet often lumped together." --Jenny Zhang, Sour Heart Asian diasporic writers imagine "home" in the twenty-first century through an array of fiction, memoir, and poetry. Both urgent and meditative, this anthology moves beyond the model-minority myth and showcases the singular intimacies of individuals figuring out what it means to belong. |
