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.
"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." -Ocean Vuong, New York Times-bestselling author of On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous
"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, author of My Baby First Birthday
"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." -NPR.org
"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." -Shelf Awareness
"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." - Literary Hub
