Chen Chen

Your Emergency Contact Has Experienced an Emergency

"In his highly anticipated second collection, Chen Chen continues his investigation of family, both blood and chosen, examining what one inherits and what one invents, as a queer Asian American living through an era of Trump, mass shootings, and the COVID-19 pandemic"--

A lot of pieces in this book feel so hard to understand and I promise myself that one day I will pick the book up again just so I can re-read it. However, all I'm getting from this book is warm hollowness, if that makes sense.

CHEN. CHEN

What happens when everything falls away, when those you call on in times of need are themselves calling out for rescue? Chen Chen continues his exploration of family, both blood and chosen, examining what one inherits and what one invents, as a queer Asian American living through an era of Trump, mass shootings and the COVID-19 pandemic.
