Literary Fiction
by Zen Cho
Closeted, broke, and jobless Jessamyn hears her dead grandmother's voice commanding her into Malaysian spirit politics she never asked to inherit. Cho blends contemporary queer coming-of-age with fierce Chinese folk religion, where family ties bind across death and gods demand negotiation, not worship. Sharp, funny, and tender—a story of claiming identity while the dead claim you.
