Take Out (Asian American Writers Worksh) [Hardcover]

Quang Bao (Author)


Available from these sellers.



Book Description

October 15, 2000 Asian American Writers Worksh
Showcasing new work, Take Out captures the freshness of contemporary expressive culture in queer Asian Pacific America. It brings together established and emerging artists to define their personal and collective vision as gays and lesbians. The visual, literary, and performance works in this anthology probe a variety of topics—inter-generational relationships, domesticity, pop culture, camp, Hollywood, fairy tales, and Asia. Take Out resists summary just as its contributors refuse limits on their artistic expression and attempts to objectify them as people.

Distributed by Temple University Press for the Asian American Writers' Workshop.


Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

An anthology of queer writings from Asian Pacific America.

From the Inside Flap

"Take Out is a broad, jostling mural, full of memorable images, a huge freeze-frame of this moment in American life. The restless, crowded canvass of this anthology does just what its editors set out to do: complicated our sense of what it is to be queer and Asian American now." —Mark Doty, author of Heaven's Coast and Firebird

"A veritable banquet of delicacies, Take Out bursts out, from seamy to steamy, traversing ethnicity and culture, love and lust, gender and generation, discovery and abandonment, class and consciousness. Some offerings embrace you like a long, slow kiss, others are a raw grope in the dark. Each is a revelation, a journey into queer and Asian/Pacific America." —Helen Zia, author of Asian American Dreams: The Emergence of an American People
