MINOR FEELINGS by Cathy Park Hong
The paperback edition of Cathy Park Hong’s MINOR FEELINGS is on the LA Times and Indie Bound’s bestsellers lists this week. The book is also featured on Business Insider’s and Electric Literature’s lists of books to understand and combat Asian-American racism. Business Insider writes: “Reading this collection of essays felt like scratching an itch that I didn't know I had. Hong's voice is a resounding one in the world of Asian-American creative nonfiction, one that seeks to break out of the mold completely and resists the categorization of Asian American authorship altogether as it relates to the fetishization of otherness and trauma." Lastly, Hong was interviewed by Alexander Chee of Medium about the essay collection, and to discuss “how the pandemic has cracked open discrimination against Asian American communities.” One World published the hardcover edition of MINOR FEELINGS on February 25, 2020, and published the paperback on March 2, 2021.
