Besiege Me
By Nicholas Wong
Winner of the 2016 Lambda Literary Award, Nicholas Wong’s Crevasse starts with the poignant impossibility of observing one's own physical body without a "second," unobservable self.
Deliberately writing in his non-native English to free himself from the conventions of his mother tongue, Wong strips down and interrogates the fragmented communities he inhabits. This intimate collection beautifully exposes the complexities of queer and Asian identities, bridging the inevitable gap between familiarity and the quiet distance of the human body.
