"A really moving and gentle book about the (American) immigrant experience, (Vietnamese-English) bilingual existence, and queer identity. So many scenes cut deeply and bitterly. It’s one of those rare texts where even I can recognize and appreciate th"

“Kõik, mis on täiuslik ja vastuoludeta, peab kaduma. Täiuslikuks saamise hetk on tema lõpp-punkt, edasi pole tal enam kohta. Muidugi ei tähenda see, et ta kohe otsa saaks - aga ta sureb paratamatult, elu lahkub temast, ükskõik, kui kaua ta füüsiliselt siin meie keskel ringi ka ei liiguks.

Olla elus - siin on õudset riski;
verd ja higi, puid ja lilli ka.”
