Description
In this incisive collection, Cathy Park Hong explores the quiet, persistent emotions that shape Asian American life—feelings that are often dismissed as “minor,” yet carry major consequences. Across essays and poems, she traces how family history, immigration, racism, and cultural expectation converge in moments both intimate and public, revealing the costs of assimilation and the strain of being perpetually interpreted. With sharp intelligence and lyrical precision, Hong examines identity as something negotiated under pressure, where grief, anger, desire, and humor coexist. Part reckoning and part map, the book illuminates the politics of feeling and offers a bracing, compassionate lens for understanding what it means to belong in America.
