I just know that this author has personal beef with mouth breathers. This story has a stronger focus on the women affected by their closeted husband's relationships than the husbands themselves, and the way their relationships decayed due to poverty and infidelity reflected the descriptions of unclean mouths the author was fond of.
I thought this was such an interesting picture of life for Chinese people in 1980s America. The Queer culture of the Worker's Cinema, it's destruction and the decisions one character made became the catalyst for our characters finding a new home in America. I thought the writing was beautiful, and even at slow points in the story, I was invested.
