As a devil-may-care feminist, she finds that the bitchy acumen within her fighting with her desire for “shallow men” and their misfit lingua franca, from the bedroom to the pillory. A spell-binding adventure about raw language, feminism, passion, and symbolic emotions in a meandering world of time, space and everything, this novel borders on hysteria, and lets you see the Asian American heart inside out.
