"The Partition is an updated exploration of Asian American identity, this time with characters who are presumptive model minorities in the arts, academia, and media. Spanning decades, these nine novelistic stories traverse an array of cities, from Tokyo to Boston, Honolulu to El Paso, touching upon transient encounters in local bars, restaurants, and hotels. Culminating in a three-story cycle about a Hollywood actor, The Partition incisively examines heartbreak, identity, family, and relationships-the characters searching for answers to universal questions: Where do I belong? How can I find love? What defines an authentic self?"--Book jacket flap. 20220711. Asian Americans Fiction. Identity (Psychology) Fiction. Short stories, American. Short stories.
