UNDISCOVERED is an autofiction of Wiener's discovery of her colonial lineage & family secrets and the journey to confront her inheritance & decolonize her desire. I appreciate this profoundly intimate story of a queer, brown woman living in a xenophobic, patriarchal, and heteronormative society. Blending personal accounts and incisive narratives, Wiener pulls no punches in questioning one's own internalized racism in perpetuating white supremacy.

At times, UNDISCOVERED reads like an essay collection with its meandering style, and the polyamory angle detracts from the emotional intensity of confronting one's lineage. I wish Wiener centered more on her journey of self-discovery and reinvention, and could've done without the romance.
