Synopsis
An anthology of Asian diasporic writers musing on the notion of &“home.&” &“Bold and devastating . . . the very definition of reclamation.&” —The International Examiner 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.&“The notion of home has always been elusive. But as evidenced in these stories, poems, and testaments, perhaps home is not so much a place, but a feeling one embodies. I read this book and see my people—see us—and feel, in our collective outsiderhood, at home.&” —Ocean Vuong, New York Times-bestselling author of On Earth We&’re Briefly Gorgeous&“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, author of My Baby First Birthday&“Language allows for many homes, and perhaps the writers—and readers of the anthology too—will succeed in returning home, or finding a home, through these words.&” —NPR.org&“Effectively dismantling all sorts of stereotypes, Buchanan&’s anthology gives voice to notions of identity, belonging and displacement that are much more vast, complex and textually rich than mere geography.&” —Shelf Awareness&“Revolutionary for all the iterations of &‘home&’ it shows through fiction, poetry, and memoir, sure to provoke a full range of emotions to swoon and clutch in my chest.&” —Literary Hub
