K-Ming Chang Gods of Want Paperback Book

WINNER OF THE 2023 LAMBDA LITERARY AWARD FOR LESBIAN FICTIONA New York Times 100 Notable Book of 2022These stories glitter and pulse Dantiel W. MontizIn her singular, electrifying style, KMing Chang peels back questions of body, power and identity, and the relationships of Asian American women, with vivid imagination. A stream of women adjust to American life by sneaking kisses from women at temple and buying tubs of vanilla ice cream to prepare for citizenship tests. Ghostcousins cross space, seas and skies to haunt their living cousin. Two girls explore each others bodies for the first time in the belly of a plastic shark. Brimming with moths and mothers, nineheaded birds and stormchasers, these queer, fabulist tales delve viscerally into myth and memory, corporeality and ghostliness, beauty and the grotesque.
