“I visited the
pumpkin patch yesterday and decided to bring home a pumpkin that in
shape appeared to be a penguin. Friends and family were mystified until I
started painting him.“
There’s a bunch of excerpts from my book in The New Yorker today! This is for anyone who’s ever cried during a shopping trip back to the motherland, anyone who’s felt out of place in what’s “supposed” to be home. I’m so excited for this book to come out in one week because stories like ours are so rarely told. Asian-Americans, gyopos, anyone with a hyphen in their identity, people whose backgrounds can’t be summed up in a neat sentence: get at me, I always want to hear from you!! <3
