A luminous collection of heartbreaking, startling, and gloriously uniquestories set amongst the Filipino communities of California and the Philippines--nowwith a new preface by the author Monstress stands as a landmark of American multiculturalshort fiction. Lysley Tenorio's tales are framed by tense, fascinatingdichotomies: tenderness and power, the fantastical and the realistic, popculture and high culture, the American and the Filipino. Tenorio balances theseopposites with rare skill, humor, and deep understanding, exploring universalthemes--the sometimes-suffocating ties of family, the melancholy of isolation, the need to find connections--with uncommon empathy and breathtakingoriginality.
