<b>From the author of <i>New York Times </i>bestseller <i>Real Americans</i>, a brilliant short story collection about love, life, and the anguish of becoming oneself in a time when it’s so easy to be someone else<br><br>“Surreal and mind-bending, <i>My Dear You</i> proves Khong to be just as much a master of the short form as she is with the novel.” —<i>Harper’s Bazaar</i><br> <br>“I couldn’t stop reading these sly, poignant, very funny stories about intimacy and friendship, work and death, longing and connection.

A factory worker decides to befriend a sex doll she is tasked with selling.<br><br>These stories go deep beneath the surface, touching on the particular awkwardness of dating in your thirties and asking: What does it mean to be an Asian woman in America? Or an American? Or a human? Along the way, the characters stop to consider interventions from the supernatural, the earthly, the robotic, and the immortal.<br><br>Playful, profane, and yet enveloped with profound compassion for life, however you define it, <i>My Dear You</i> takes on dating, marriage, and the pressures of having or not having children; intimacy, memory, race, and capitalism; living, dying, and being dead. At their very core, they are tales of love in its many forms: being in love when you’re not supposed to be, or not being in love but wishing you were; failing at dating apps or finding yourself in weird but wonderful lifelong friendships; str
