The late Anthony Veasna So's debut story collection, Afterparties, was a landmark publication, and he was equally known for his comic, soulful essays. This volume gathers those essays together, along with previously unpublished fiction. Written with wit and an unflinching eye, the essays examine his youth in California, the lives of his refugee parents, his intimate friendships, loss, pop culture, and more. And in linked fiction following three Cambodian American cousins who stand to inherit their late aunt's illegitimate loan-sharking business, So explores community, grief, and longing with humor and depth.
