Yay @V_V_G! BROTHERLESS NIGHT is indeed gripping—also deeply moving, and one of the best books on siblings, family, and war that I’ve read in ages. https://twitter.com/pkhorn/status/1511683889437319180

Beyond grateful to @PublishersWkly for this 🌟 review of OUR MISSING HEARTS: "An affecting family drama ... especially when offering testimony to the power of art and storytelling. Ng’s latest crackles and sizzles all the way to the end." https://t.co/bDweXP84hE

@jungkimphd It was such a pleasure chatting with you! Some other recent AsAm books that interrogate/subvert the mode minority stereotype: Gold Diggers (Sanjena Sathian), Joan Is Okay (Weike Wang), Kaleidoscope (Cecile Wong), Counterfeit (Kirstin Chen), Disorientstion (Elaine Chou).

Happy book birthday to @anthonyfmarra's MERCURY PICTURES PRESENTS, in bookstores now! A huge cast of characters grappling with questions of exile, and exploring the role of film (and art) in the face of grim times.
