Fantasy
by Nghi Vo
In pre-Code Hollywood, Chinese American Luli Wei dreams of stardom despite the industry's racism and the dangerous magic lurking beneath Tinseltown's glittering surface. Willing to make any deal—with studios, with monsters, with her own soul—to escape the limitations imposed on her, Luli transforms herself into a siren of the silver screen. A darkly enchanting tale of ambition, identity, and the price of reinvention in a city built on illusions.
