Soon afterwards, Daughter awakes with a tiger tail. And more mysterious events follow: Holes in the backyard spit up letters penned by her grandmother; a visiting aunt leaves red on everything she touches; another aunt arrives with eels in her belly. All the while, Daughter is falling for her neighbor, a girl named Ben with mysterious powers of her own. As the two young lovers translate the grandmother's letters, Daughter begins to understand that each woman in her family embodies an old Taiwanese myth--and that she will have to bring her family's secrets to light in order to change their destiny. With a poetic voice of crackling electricity, K Ming Chang is an explosive young writer who combines the wit and fabulism of Helen Oyeyemi with the magical realist aesthetic of Maxine Hong Kingston. Tracing one family's history from Mainland China to Taiwan, from Arkansas to California, Bestiary is a novel of migration, queer lineages, and womanhood"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Fiction Chang Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Adult Fiction Chang Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Fiction Chang Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Fiction Chang Checked In Add Copy to MyList Liliha Public Library Adult Fiction Chang Checked In Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library Adult Fiction Chang Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Fiction Chang Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Fiction Chang Checked In Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library Adult Fiction Chang Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wailuku Public Library Adult Fiction Chang Checked In Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
