minor feelings is a reflective, nuanced read that delves into the complex intricacies of asian american identity. how do u explore sth often treated as invisible, neither here nor there, w/ a public existence as wispy as smoke? it's an arduous task but hong captures many things adeptly in her memoir cum history and cultural criticism work.

Not a memoir like I expected and i had a hard time connecting the people in the author's lives to the greater story theme, but it was very informative and spoke a lot of the things that i've always had in my mind
