A PhD student's search for a way out of academic hell turns into a hilarious and chaotic adventure on a college campus. Along with her trusty friend and rival, she uncovers a shocking discovery that upends her entire life and challenges her relationships with white men and institutions. This uproarious and heartwarming debut novel is a satire of white supremacy in academia and a reckoning of a Taiwanese American woman's complicity and unspoken rage. Discover Disorientation - a profound and electrifying story about who gets to tell our stories and how it changes when we tell it ourselves.
