The effect [of Last of Her Name] is a kaleidoscope of female desire, family, and resilience.--The Millions
Mimi Lok's Last of Her Name is an eye-opening story collection about the intimate, interconnected lives of diasporic women and the histories they are born into.--The Rumpus
Lok's attention to detail and reflective connections make for an intimate and layered experience, for the characters and their readers.--Karla Strand "Ms. Magazine "
Lok writes with the self-assuredness of a literary veteran and the insight of someone who's spent a lifetime studying how humans interact.--Michael Schaub "NPR "
Mimi Lok's "Last of Her Name" is a smorgasbord of powerful writing and angsty emotion wrapped into eight meditations on what it means to feel slightly out of place, either in your head or in your physical surroundings.--Alexis Hurling "San Francisco Chronicle "
Lok has written the kind of understated book you catch yourself thinking about weeks after you finish it. Absorbing and deeply human, these characters -- who either live in China or are of the Chinese diaspora -- feel more like people you might've known than like fictitious renderings of Lok's imagination. A pleasure to read and mull over for days.--Siobhan Jones "New York Times: Book Review "
Assured and keenly observed stories about the devastations--large and small--that transpire between people. Rendered in prose that's no-nonsense, darkly funny, and lovely all at once, Lok's stories carry quiet but undeniable impact. This is a book that stays with you long after you've put it down. It makes you wonder, as good books should, what on earth is going on in each of our brains.--Rachel Khong "Craft Literary "
Lok is an expert at peeking into the souls of those who have been displaced or disregarded: through war, neglect, and even lost love.--Publisher's Weekly
Reseña del editor
Mimi Lok's Last of Her Name is an eye-opening story collection about the intimate, interconnected lives of diasporic women and the histories they are born into. Set in a wide range of time periods and locales, including '80s UK suburbia, WWII Hong Kong and contemporary urban California, the book features an eclectic cast of outsiders: among them, an elderly housebreaker, wounded lovers and kung-fu fighting teenage girls. Last of Her Name offers a meditation on female desire and resilience, family and the nature of memory.
