Yi Shun Lai

    Yi Shun Lai crea narrazioni che approfondiscono le complessità dell'identità personale e dell'intersezionalità culturale. La sua scrittura offre acuti spunti sulle esperienze delle donne contemporanee, esplorando temi di autoscoperta e la ricerca di significato nella vita quotidiana. Il lavoro di Lai come educatrice ed editrice di una newsletter sul cibo evidenzia ulteriormente il suo multiforme impegno nella narrazione e nell'esperienza vissuta.

      "Marty Wu, compulsive reader of advice manuals, would love to come across as a poised young advertising professional. Instead she trips over her own feet and blurts out inappropriate comments. The bulk of her brain matter, she decides, consists of gerbils spinning madly in alternating directions. Marty hopes to someday open a boutique costume shop, but it's hard to keep focused on her dream. First comes a spectacular career meltdown that sends her ricocheting between the stress of New York and the warmth of supportive relatives in Taiwan. Then she faces one domestic drama after another, with a formidable mother who's impossible to please, an annoyingly successful and well- adjusted brother, and surprising family secrets that pop up just when she doesn't want to deal with them"--Publisher's description
