Let's Go Let's Go Let's Go
Cleo Qian
The electric, unsettling, and often surreal stories in LET'S GO LET'S GO LET'S GO explore the alienated, technology-mediated lives of restless Asian and Asian American women today. A woman escapes into dating simulations to forget her best friend's abandonment; a teenager begins to see menacing omens on others' bodies after her double eyelid surgery; reunited schoolmates are drawn into the Japanese mountains to participate in an uncanny social experiment; a supernatural karaoke machine becomes a K-pop star's channel for redemption. In every story, characters refuse dutiful, docile stereotypes. They are ready to explode, to question conventions. Their compulsions tangle with unrequited longing and queer desire in their search for something ineffable across cities, countries, and virtual worlds. With precision and provocation, Cleo Qian's immersive debut jolts us into the reality of lives fragmented by screens, relentless consumer culture, and the flattening pressures of modern society--and asks how we might hold on to tenderness against the impulses within us.Binding Type: PaperbackAuthor: Cleo QianPublisher: Tin House BooksPublished: 08/15/2023ISBN: 9781953534927Pages: 256Review Citations: Publishers Weekly 06/19/2023Kirkus Reviews 07/01/2023
