Yi Shun Lai Livres
Yi Shun Lai élabore des récits qui explorent les complexités de l'identité personnelle et de l'intersectionnalité culturelle. Son écriture offre des aperçus percutants sur les expériences des femmes contemporaines, abordant les thèmes de la découverte de soi et de la quête de sens dans la vie quotidienne. Le travail de Lai en tant qu'éducatrice et rédactrice d'une newsletter sur la nourriture souligne davantage son engagement multiforme envers la narration et l'expérience vécue.
"Marty Wu, compulsive reader of advice manuals, would love to come across as a poised young advertising professional. Instead she trips over her own feet and blurts out inappropriate comments. The bulk of her brain matter, she decides, consists of gerbils spinning madly in alternating directions. Marty hopes to someday open a boutique costume shop, but it's hard to keep focused on her dream. First comes a spectacular career meltdown that sends her ricocheting between the stress of New York and the warmth of supportive relatives in Taiwan. Then she faces one domestic drama after another, with a formidable mother who's impossible to please, an annoyingly successful and well- adjusted brother, and surprising family secrets that pop up just when she doesn't want to deal with them"--Publisher's description
