The stories felt juvenile and crass, like the stories an 11 year old boy well tell you to get a reaction. I was really excited about this one, but was very disappointed
I absolutely enjoyed reading this collection of short stories. K-Ming’s prose is poetic, haunting, and gorgeous. The stories ebb and flow beautifully, mixing myths and stories of migration, bodies, and queerness.
There were some stories that I sat with before moving on with the rest of the book, like “The Chorus of Dead Cousins” and “Resident Aliens.”
After reading this, I was left so emotional. What a powerful book.
Thanks to NetGalley and Random House / One World for providing me this ARC. This book comes out on July 12!
