Passion and Departure is Annie Wang's short story collection. It is a book about incest, racism, cultural differences, jealousy, obsession, prejudice, betrayal, and the loneliness of modern souls. One of the seven stories, Once Upon a Time in New York explores and criticizes the deeply-rooted racial prejudice against black people among the Chinese through the depiction of an obsessive, sensual love affair between a young Chinese woman, an MBA graduate from University of Chicago and a Western-African immigrant who she met in a hotel lobby in New York.
