Monstress by Lysley Tenorio
4.0
I enjoyed Tenorio's collection of short stories, and am interested to read more about Filipino and Filipino-American experiences.
Two standouts for me were The View from Culion, set in the famous leper colony by the same name, and Save the I-Hotel which follows the stories of two eldery Filipino-American immigrant friends who are being evicted from the building they've called home for decades.
This collection tackles gender, race, identity, and what it means to belong. Do pick it up if you enjoy short stories.
