Daddy Issues: Stories

This collection of short stories explores the lives of queer Asian American people in Los Angeles, many of whom are balancing cultural pressures, creativity, survival, and complicated family ties. A gay father hides his truth from his child, a trans man cares for a parent with dementia while gentrification reshapes his neighborhood, a social worker numbs himself against endless loss, and a writer struggles to rekindle passion. Each story is intimate and precise, revealing the beauty and ache of ordinary queer lives.

~  Included for its moving and deeply human portrayal of queer Asian American experiences and for its celebration of resilience through vulnerability. A powerful collection that captures tenderness, struggle, and hope in equal measure.  ~
