Fiction. LGBT Studies. Asian American Studies. In this daring first novel, tour-de-force experiments in narrative structure, pidgin, and perspective roll every "are," throwing new light on gay identity and the trauma of assimilation. "The prose is delirious, dense, and florid. The kids bloom in rapid-fire stories, blossoming like flowers in hothouse air. Their talk is dizzying, full of sex, television, and cheap, glamorous dreams. It's Our Town in the American 1970s"—Matthew Stadler.
