Revenge of the Mooncake Vixen: A Manifesto in 41 Tales
Marilyn Chin's prose waxes and wanes between satire and metaphorical lyric, referencing classical Chinese tales and ghost stories that are at turns sensual, lurid, hilarious, shocking, and surreal.

Praise for this book
Based on classical Chinese mythology, ghost stories, and legends, Chin's unconventional coming-of-age novel is a frothy and tart exploration of the Asian immigrant experience.--Carol Haggas "Booklist"
Wildly profane and funny riffs on folklore, chronicling the adventures of two very modern Chinese-American sisters.... A fresh, chaotic and sexy updating of the cross-cultural experience.-- "Kirkus Reviews"
