A review by bookalong
Afterparties by Anthony Veasna So
4.0
A posthumous debut, AFTERPARTIES is an impressive and moving collection of interconnected stories about the lives of Cambodian Americans.
I have been obsessed with short fiction this year and AFTERPARTIES was a must read for me. I found Veasna So's writing very singular and affecting. The way he expressed intergenerational trauma especially unspoken traumas was so well done. I havent read any works of fiction that achieved this on the level So did. It's so unfortunate we wont get to read more of his work. If you enjoy story collections I definitely reccomend checking this one out!
