Description

An entire book of good stories… . [Leung] gains trust the old-fashioned way—through confidence, craftsmanship and compassion. There are no shortcuts here, no tricks or gimmicks, no glib patinas to conceal weak underpinnings… . This is a book about loss, twined irrevocably with hope, a hope that surges below the surface of all life… . Read [it] and see a bold new writer making himself vulnerable on the page. He gives us all hope.—Chris Offutt

Born to a Chinese father and Euro-American mother, Brian Leung is a native of California, where he is now an assistant professor at California State University, Northridge. He received an M.F.A in creative writing from Indiana University.
