Minor Feelings
An Asian American Reckoning
Cathy Park Hong
Through the lens of her Korean-American experience, award-winning poet and essayist Cathy Park Hong delves into the complex realities of Asian American identity in America. She courageously confronts the concept of "minor feelings," where American optimism clashes with the truth of one's racial identity. With thought-provoking cultural criticism and memoir-esque prose, this intimate and honest work of art exposes the psychological condition of being Asian American today.

I read Minor Feelings in a fugue of enveloping recognition and distancing flinch. The question of lovability, and desirability, is freighted for Asian men and Asian women in very different ways - and Minor Feelings serves as a case study in how a feminist point of view can both deepen an inquiry and widen its resonances to something like universality. – fuente
