Not really on here Rep'd by @kentdwolf Debut novel, CINEMA LOVE, out now from @DuttonBooks (US) & @JohnMurrays (UK)
Joined July 2011
It's happening. My novel about queer Chinese people, the women who marry them, and the spaces they inhabit -- spaces that I love and grew up in -- will be published by @DuttonBooks in the coming years. I am a MESS.

An honor to be in conversation with @jessaminechan, whom I’ve admired for so long—and who is now a dear friend 💙
For the new issue of @poetswritersinc, I had the great pleasure of interviewing @andymintan about his stunning debut novel CINEMA LOVE. Also, Julia Phillips is on the cover. What could be better?? https://t.co/iWtN14zsEi

GUARDIAN REVIEW!!! (can people tell I'm just back in the states and finally have reliable internet service...)
Lovely review for Cinema Love by @andymintan ‘There is much to admire in this intricately plotted novel. The depiction of Chinese immigrant life in America is very well done: rich in detail, and with lovely flashes of humour. . . it’s a story with real heart’ @johnmurrays

Solidarity with Kundiman staff, fellows, and community. ❤️🖤💚
I'm devastated to have to share that @kundimanforever has been betrayed by Sarah Gambito, Joseph Legaspi, Ricco Siasoco, and the Kundiman board. We call for their resignations. All this because of a simple statement of solidarity with Palestinians. https://t.co/2DxhMu1UsY

the @kundimanforever community has meant so much to me, and this board behavior is extremely disappointing and disheartening. solidarity with the staff + fellows ❤️

TLDR - our preeminent AAPI org refused to support Palestinian liberation properly, then hired a weird corporate consultant, then threatened to fire longstanding staff - on AAPI heritage month no less. A disgrace @kundimanforever founders & board. I stand with the staff & fellows.

Cinema Love was (briefly) noted in this week's @NewYorker! "Moving…Part ghost story, part love story, and part tale of hardscrabble immigrant life, this intricately plotted novel asks whether, in the end, it is better to forgive or to forget.” https://t.co/YtxbB0BJha

I’m so enraged. Profoundly disturbed. None of this is new & NONE OF THIS IS RIGHT. Bayridge is a beautiful part of Brooklyn. Nakba day, while still a protest, has historically been joyful, rambunctious-largely a celebration. I’m shocked, shaken by today’s violence. And still-

Wow, this essay.
The first essay I ever wrote is now out in @EcotoneMagazine! I wrote about my language loss, the seemingly simple trades we made for assimilation. Linguists have long studied the 3 stages of first-language attrition, and I posit a 4th. https://t.co/Jm5zPM5lFu
