My Symptoms

My Symptoms

John Yau1998
Chinese-American writer John Yau's short fiction collection is set in bleak neighborhoods of casual misunderstanding, habitual deception and oblique, transient encounters among strangers. At the heart of Yau's artistic inquiry is that precarious and unstable thing "identity"--and the ways that isolation and alienation threaten identity altogether. The Review of Contemporary Fiction said, "These are stories that recount the symptoms of many, if not most of us."
