Description
In this sharp, darkly luminous collection, K-Ming Chang turns to the body—its appetites, vulnerabilities, and transformations—to explore what we consume, what we fear, and what we refuse to name. Across interconnected stories and essays, characters navigate desire and disgust, family histories and cultural inheritance, and the quiet violence of everyday life, where survival often depends on reinterpretation rather than escape. With vivid imagery and a precise, lyrical voice, the book blends speculative edge with intimate realism to examine themes of identity, intimacy, and the politics of the flesh. Equal parts haunting and incisive, it asks readers to consider how “organ” becomes metaphor: for memory, for longing, and for the parts of ourselves we carry even when we try to live otherwise.
