Available September 1st 2020
Spanning the across land and time, Jack Wang's "We Two Alone" is an exploration of love in the Chinese diaspora. Whether it's the decidedly queer 19th century hockey player or the lovesick university student, Wang has a knack for building the scene, breathing life into a specific moment while still showcasing an unique aspect of Chinese immigrant culture. Each of these tense short stories feature star crossed lovers who come almost come together and have to grapple with their race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status, of their dreams and aspirations in a world that is often cruel and xenophobic. Like warm homemade bao, "We Two Alone" offers a sense of comfort that can only be found sitting at one's own kitchen table.
