Monstress by Lysley Tenorio
4.0
Thank you to Harper Collins & NetGalley for the Advanced Reader's Copy!
Available July 7th 2020
In Lysley Tenorio's lively "Monstress", anything goes from Beatles kitsch to homeless drag queens. Each short story is filled with a flair for the dramatic and a love for the Filipino diaspora. It is often the intricate details, the slow anger of a sibling toward another or the quiet, gentle love of an older man, that give these stories their power. Admist the craziness, Tenorio manages to find sanity and rich character details.
