Beschreibung

<p><strong>A playful and deeply affective short story collection about the histories, technologies, and generational divides that shape our relationships—from the award-winning writer of <em>Days of Distraction</em></strong></p> <p>Compelling and perceptive, <em>Tomb Sweeping </em>probes the loyalties we hold: to relatives, to strangers, and to ourselves. In stories set across the US and Asia, Alexandra Chang immerses us in the lives of immigrant families, grocery store employees, expecting parents, and guileless lab assistants.</p><p>A woman known only to her neighbors as “the Asian recycling lady” collects bottles from the streets she calls home. A young college grad ponders the void left from a broken friendship. An unfulfilled housewife in Shanghai finds a secret outlet for her ambitions in an undercover gambling den. Two strangers become something more through the bond of mistaken identity.</p><p>These characters, adeptly attuned to the mystery of living, invite us to consider whether it is possible for anyone to entirely do right by another. <em>Tomb Sweeping</em> brims with remarkable skill and talent in every story, keeping a definitive pulse on loss, community, and what it means to feel fully alive. With her debut story collection, Chang further establishes herself as “a writer to watch” (<em>New York Times Book Review</em>).</p>
