Wow. To think this is a first novel is amazing. Character and story intertwine with circular telling and visceral imagery. The story of a gay Vietnamese-American figuring out his identities and relationships with family and friends as it has not been told. There is so much quotable wisdom in this book. A challenging and stressful. Read, but told with such tenderness and love.

Ik vond dit boek echt prachtig, de zinnen gleden langs mijn ogen en ik kon niet stoppen met lezen. De melancholie omgaf me en ik ging er volledig in op
