    “What streams through the consciousness of a first-generation American daughter of Vietnamese immigrants? Her perspective, woven in autobiography and fantasy, expresses the deep conflict between life's realities weighed against expectations - both internal and external. The author superimposes her story over a mix of mathematics, music, and myth . She addresses our myths of collective memory and aspiration in a style reminiscent of a good Kurt Vonnegut read, with a decidedly feminist flavor.”

    Lily Hoang is a native of San Antonio. She currently live in South Bend, Indiana, where she is a Visiting Asst. Professor in English and Women's Studies at Saint Mary's College.
