9/16/10

"Spit out in tense, hypnotic prose, James Yeh's Taiwanese-American kaddish can be read in the time it takes you to brush your teeth, but I'm going to bet you don't forget its sadness or its post-Brooklyn dread for a long, long time."

-Ed Park, author of Personal Days/founding editor of The Believer

"Yeh’s quiet meditation on death will sneak in and throw up a window in your soul with its intensity."

-Deb Olin Unferth, author of Vacation and Minor Robberies
