If you loved ‘On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous', try these 4 books next
Asian-American immigration narratives have witnessed a rise in recent years. These stories are about identities that are constructed through a confluence of oriental and Western cultures. They are focused on finding belonging in a country that one has known their whole life, yet somehow still feels a little foreign. Asian-American immigration narratives often take the form of memoirs, not just reflecting on the life of a single person, but also recollecting the history of the family and how loss, sacrifices, and trauma mould the present. Focusing on memory, queerness, and grief, among other themes. Here is a list of coming-of-age debut books by Asian-American authors: Ocean Vuong's debut novel, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous (Vintage, pages 256, Rs 550), is a lyrical reflection on the protagonist's (Little Dog) experience as a queer Vietnamese-American immigrant growing up in a middle-class family. Written in the form of a letter to his mother who cannot read, the first-person retrospective narrative evokes questions about identity, belonging, and love. The novel explores the implications of the Vietnam War in the history of his family, and the protagonist's discovery of his queerness. Stay True (Picador, pages 208, Rs 650) is a memoir written by Hua Hsu dedicated to his friend Ken who lost his life in a carjacking incident. The novel portrays a friendship which finds its roots in the simplicity of college experiences, late night hangouts, shared cigarettes, and bonding over music, before it was lost to time. As an enthusiast of the emerging indie scene, the novel is packed with musical references to bands in the late 90s, such as Nirvana and The Beach Boys. Hsu's and Ken's friendship is an unexpected one, their main similarity being their experience as an Asian-American and trying to find a sense of belonging amidst a culture that does not entirely belong to them.

Abrams, pages 336, Rs 1581) is a graphic novel written and illustrated by Thi Bui, a Vietnam-born American graphic novelist and illustrator. The graphic is mostly monochromatic, with the exception of sepia tones that seep into the work. Thi Bui reflects on her family history as she tries to make sense of her identity and place in the present. She recounts her parents' experience during the Vietnam War, their refuge in the US following the war, and its impact on her life.

My Daughter is a Zombie: A Heartwarming Tale of Fatherhood Amidst a Zombie Outbreak
My Daughter is a Zombie, My daughter doesn't bite people What happens when your teenage daughter becomes a zombie during her birthday party? Most parents would probably run for the hills, but not Jung-hwan (played by Cho Jung-seok). This absolute legend of a dad decides to train his undead daughter like she's an adorable pet, and honestly, it's the most wholesome zombie content you'll see this year. The Plot That'll Make You Ugly Cry " My Daughter is a Zombie " (originally titled "좀비딸") isn't your typical brain-munching horror fest. This gem of a film follows Jung-hwan, a devoted single father who's basically the definition of a "girl dad." When a zombie outbreak hits their neighborhood during his daughter Su-ah's (Choi Yu-ri) birthday celebration, their escape plan goes sideways faster than you can say "apocalypse." The twist? Su-ah gets bitten and transforms into a zombie right there in their car. But instead of accepting defeat, this absolute unit of a father decides to secretly train his zombie daughter to act human again. We're talking about a guy who treats zombie training like it's teaching a puppy tricks - and it's simultaneously hilarious and heartbreaking. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Luxury 2–4 BHKs in Pune's Iconic Green Township Shapoorji Golfland Vanaha Enquire Now Undo When Grandma's Discipline Meets Zombie Chaos The real MVP of this story is Grandma Bam-soon (Lee Jung-eun), who handles her zombie granddaughter with the kind of no-nonsense attitude that only Korean grandmothers possess. Armed with her trusty "hyoja-son" (a traditional Korean back-scratcher), she disciplines the little zombie with such authority that Su-ah literally cowers whenever she sees it. The dynamic between the overprotective dad, the strict grandma, and the zombie granddaughter creates comedy gold that'll have you rolling on the floor one minute and reaching for tissues the next. Star Power That Delivers Cho Jung-seok, who's basically Korea's answer to the perfect rom-com lead, brings his A-game to this unconventional father role. The man's previous summer hits "Exit" and "Pilot" both crossed significant milestones, and he's clearly gunning for a third consecutive summer blockbuster. Lee Jung-eun, who you might recognize from "Parasite," absolutely nails the grandmother role despite being significantly younger than her character in real life. Her comedic timing is chef's kiss perfect. The real surprise is young actress Choi Yu-ri, who seamlessly transitions between adorable daughter and genuinely creepy zombie. Her performance is so convincing that you'll forget she's acting. The Emotional Rollercoaster Don't let the comedy fool you - this film will wreck you emotionally. The movie masterfully balances laugh-out-loud moments with genuine tear-jerking scenes. When Jung-hwan returns to their old house to collect Su-ah's clothes and breaks down remembering their normal life, even the toughest viewers will need tissues.
