<p><b>'Incandescent and explosive and compassionate all at once' </b>BRYAN WASHINGTON</p><p><b>'Rachel Khong is one of our best observers of the human condition'</b> RITA BULLWINKEL</p><p><b>'Beautiful, effortless' </b>AIMEE BENDER</p><p><b>From the author of the <i>New York Times</i> bestselling REAL AMERICANS comes a playful, richly inquisitive collection exploring the connections and disruptions which define us. </b></p><p>Throughout MY DEAR YOU, normal people go through extraordinary transformations. A government injects its people with a drug that makes them see everyone else as members of their own race and gender. A factory worker develops an unlikely friendship with the artificially intelligent sex doll she is tasked with training. God decides that humanity is a lost cause and gives each person 24 hours to decide in which animal form they will spend the rest of their days.</p><p>Along the way, characters are confronted with supernatural and otherworldly interventions, as well as the earthly, human concerns that shape our daily lives: capitalism and race, intimacy, memory, and mortality.</p><p><b>Playful and tender, dark and witty, each of these stories is infused with a profound sense of compassion. They express a powerful curiosity about the human experience, and the inescapable choices that meet us all: to have or not have children; to pursue connections with others in spite of life's impermanence; how to live - and live well.</b><br><br>***</p><p><i>Praise for Rachel Khong</i></p><p>'Mesmerizing' <b>BRIT BENNETT</b><br>'Gorgeous, heartfelt, soaring, philosophical and deft' <b>ANDREW SEAN GREER</b><br>'Traverses time with verve and feeling' <b>RAVEN LEILANI</b><br>'A page turner'<b> HA JIN</b></p>
