General Notes | "Some of these pieces, as noted, are works of fiction. Names, characters, places, and incidents within these selections are products of the author's imagination or are used fictitiously, and are not to be construed as real. Any resemblance to actual events, locales, organizations, or persons, living or dead, is entirely coincidental"--Copyright page. Several of these essays originally appeared, in slightly different form, in the following publications: n+1 ("Journey to a Land Free of White People," "Baby Yeah"); Ninth Letter ("Manchester Street"); The New Yorker ("Duplex"); and The Millions ("A Year in Reading"). |
Summary | "The late Anthony Veasna So's debut story collection, Afterparties, was a landmark publication, hailed as a "bittersweet triumph for a fresh voice silenced too soon" (Fresh Air). And he was equally known for his comic, soulful essays, published in n+1, the New Yorker, and The Millions. Songs on Endless Repeat gathers those essays together, along with previously unpublished fiction. Written with razor-sharp wit and an unflinching eye, the essays examine his youth in California, the lives of his refugee parents, his intimate friendships, loss, pop culture, and more. And in linked fiction following three Cambodian American cousins who stand to inherit their late aunt's illegitimate loan-sharking business, So explores community, grief, and longing with inimitable humor and depth."-- |
