Description
How to Speak Hokkien is a comic in costume. Here are essays of a difficult growing up: the unstable identity of “Asian-American,” homophobia, being a daughter, failing at first love, and coming of age. How to Speak Hokkien is all about screaming from small places. Here is an account which is not a forensic investigation of events, but rather a piece of nonfiction which has heart, compassion, and the ability to doubt its own authority and admit its own faults. This is a book that is unashamedly Taiwanese, an identity which is its unmistakable heartbeat.
