Take Out: Queer Writing From Asian Pacific America

by Quang Bao

Showcasing new work, Take Out captures the freshness of contemporary expressive culture in queer Asian Pacific America. It brings together established and emerging artists to define their personal and collective vision as gays and lesbians. The visual, literary, and performance works in this anthology probe a variety of topics —inter-generational relationships, domesticity, pop culture, camp, Hollywood, fairy tales, and Asia. Take Out resists summary just as its contributors refuse limits on their artistic expression and attempts to objectify them as people.

[Darnell Henderson · Rating 3 out of 5]

Really 3.6.

I liked this book because it was a collection. Towards the end, i did not like reading this book because there was no one story to hold onto, which isn’t like fair but regardless is my opinion.

Particularly enjoyed:
Physics by Lisa Asagi
Baby by Philil Huang
Sensory for Nine by R. Zamora Linmark
Grass by Svati Shah
From Vegas, With Love by Eric C. Wat
A Star is Born by Nita Yamashita (made me cry)
Wonderland by E.G. Louie (made me cry)
