Minor Feelings: An Asian American Reckoning

Essential reading, and I cannot recommend the audiobook more highly, as the author performs it absolutely perfectly.
This is about Park Hong wrestling with her lived experience as an Asian American and what that label and identity even means. She's Korean, but what context does -- or doesn't -- that add to the label she's been given? How does it play out in what she writes? In what ways has she or hasn't she been able to truly and authentically express herself, given how limited and colonial the English language is?
Smart, fiery, fierce, and a crucial addition to anyone's shelf who wants to be seen or wants to be better at seeing those who are unlike them.
