Adapted from my review on Goodreads.

Notes

  • writing / language
    • scathing, incising, doesn’t mince words, no time for nonsense — only in the present
    • in the past, we have the time to go on and on
  • Asian Americans as having built their lives without dignity
  • wildly fun
  • tries to break “novels” as a form
  • surfaced some strange sentiments I didn’t know I had
  • writing great, not so great for some moments that snapped me out of my trance
  • 4/5
