Go Home!

An anthology of Asian diasporic writers musing on the notion of "e;home."e; "e;Bold and devastating . . . the very definition of reclamation."e; -The International ExaminerAsian diasporic writers imagine "e;home"e; in the twenty-first century through an array of fiction, memoir, and poetry. Both urgent and meditative, this anthology moves beyond the model-minority myth and showcases the singular intimacies of individuals figuring out what it means to belong. "e;The notion of home has always been elusive. But as evidenced in these stories, poems, and testaments, perhaps home is not so much a place, but a feeling one embodies. I read this book and see my people see us and feel, in our collective outsiderhood, at home."e; Ocean Vuong, New York Times-bestselling author of On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous"e;To be from nowhere is the state of Asian diaspora, but there is also a wild humor and imagination that comes from being underestimated, rarely counted, hardly seen. Here, we begin to draw the hopeful outlines of a collective history for those so disparate yet often lumped together."e; Jenny Zhang, author of My Baby First Birthday"e;Language allows for many homes, and perhaps the writers and readers of the anthology too will succeed in returning home, or finding a home, through these words."e; NPR.org"e;Effectively dismantling all sorts of stereotypes, Buchanan's anthology gives voice to notions of identity, belonging and displacement that are much more vast, complex and textually rich than mere geography."e; Shelf Awareness"e;Revolutionary for all the iterations of 'home' it shows through fiction, poetry, and memoir, sure to provoke a full range of emotions to swoon and clutch in my chest."e; Literary Hub
