Synopsis

An anthology of Asian diasporic writers musing on the notion of "home"-and the possibilities of outsiderhood and belonging.

"I read this book and see my people-see us-and feel, in our collective outsiderhood, at home." -Ocean Vuong, Night Sky with Exit Wounds

"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." -Jenny Zhang, Sour Heart

Asian diasporic writers imagine "home" 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.
