Reviews
The characters in May-lee Chai's riveting Useful Phrases for Immigrants ask searching questions--of themselves, of their families, and of their culture. The answers, they often find, are within themselves, rooted in love and hope. This clear-eyed story collection features characters so well-drawn that I won't ever forget them." --Chantel Acevedo, author of A Falling Star , The Distant Marvels , and The Living Infinite, "With her masterful short story collection, Chai proves with exquisite craftsmanship that less can be so much more. The eight stories making up this slim volume focus on characters trying to make sense of changing literal and metaphorical landscapes. In quiet moments of family drama, Chai shines a light on the deeper truths without needing to spell them out. "Ghost Festivals" shifts between the present and the past as a young woman deals with her extended family's reaction to her uncle's homosexuality, her own bisexuality, and her parents' complicated relationship. In "Fish Boy," a boy fresh from the countryside grows streetwise but disillusioned after migrating to Zhengzhou. "Canada" features a young Taiwanese-American girl dealing with the excitement and horror of her first training bra. In the collection's stand-out, "The Body," five different narrators react to a body found at a metropolitan Chinese construction site, tackling issues of corruption, migrant workers, media sensationalism, and religion--all while telling a compelling story in fewer than 20 pages. The concise tales in this literary gem linger in the mind long after the pages are turned." -- Jennifer Rothschild, Booklist, Starred Review, The eight stories in this collection contain multitudes. Chai interrogates heavy subjects with a light touch. She grants each character with the gift of a gleaming voice, rendering them to be shaped by circumstances, while also transcending them. Useful Phrases for Immigrants is more than merely "useful," this is essential reading and I'm honored to choose this book for the Bakwin Award. --Tayari Jones, author of An American Marriage, Silver Sparrow, The Untelling, and Leaving Atlanta, judge of the 2017 Bakwin Award for Writing by a Woman., "With insight, compassion, and clarity, May-lee Chai vividly illustrates the reverberations of migration--both physical and psychological; between countries, cities, and generations; and within families and individuals. You won't forget these characters." --Lisa Ko, author of The Leavers , finalist for the National Book Award in Fiction, "May-lee Chai presents us with a splendid gem of a story collection . . . Complementing the vivid characters, the reader has the gift of language--'a wind so treacherous it had its own name,' 'summer days stretched taffy slow'....Chai's work is a grand event." --Edward P. Jones, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Known World, All Aunt Hagar's Children, and Lost in the City., "May-lee Chai presents us with a splendid gem of a story collection . . . Complementing the vivid characters, the reader has the gift of language--'a wind so treacherous it had its own name,' 'summer days stretched taffy slow'....Chai's work is a grand event." -Edward P.
