Sour heart book6/23/2023 ![]() ![]() In the absence of grown-ups, latchkey kids experiment on each other until one day the experiments turn violent an overbearing mother abandons her artistic aspirations to come to America but relives her glory days through karaoke and a shy loner struggles to master English so she can speak to God. Her stories cut across generations and continents, moving from the fraught halls of a public school in Flushing, Queens, to the tumultuous streets of Shanghai, China, during the Cultural Revolution of the 1960s. A sly debut story collection that conjures the experience of adolescence through the eyes of Chinese American girls growing up in New York City-for readers of Zadie Smith, Helen Oyeyemi, and Junot DíazĪ fresh new voice emerges with the arrival of Sour Heart, establishing Jenny Zhang as a frank and subversive interpreter of the immigrant experience in America. ![]()
