Gods of Want: A New York Times Notable Book of 2022 (English Edition)

*WINNER OF THE 2023 LAMBDA LITERARY AWARD FOR LESBIAN FICTION* *A New York Times 100 Notable Book of 2022* 'These stories glitter and pulse' Dantiel W. Montiz In her singular, electrifying style, K-Ming Chang peels back questions of body, power and identity, and the relationships of Asian American women, with vivid imagination. A stream of women adjust to American life by sneaking kisses from women at temple and buying tubs of vanilla ice cream to prepare for citizenship tests. Ghost-cousins cross space, seas and skies to haunt their living cousin. Two girls explore each other's bodies for the first time in the belly of a plastic shark. Brimming with moths and mothers, nine-headed birds and storm-chasers, these queer, fabulist tales delve viscerally into myth and memory, corporeality and ghostliness, beauty and the grotesque.
