Book of the Other: small in comparison Description
A furious, multiform examination of the devastation wrought by anti-Asian racism in America
Truong
Tran's
provocative
collection
of
poetry,
prose
and
essays
is
a
stunning
rebuttal
to
the
idea
of
anti-Asian
racism
as
a
victimless
crime.
Written
with
a
compulsion
for
lucidity
that
transforms
outrage
into
clarity,
Book
of
the
Other
resists
the
luxury
of
metaphor
to
write
about
the
experience
of
being
shut
out,
shut
down
and
othered
as
a
queer,
working-class
teacher,
immigrant
and
refugee.
What
emerges
from
Tran's
sharp-eyed
experiments
in
language
and
form
is
an
achingly
beautiful
acknowledgment
of
the
estrangement
from
self
forced
upon
those
seduced
by
the
promise
of
color-blind
acceptance
and
the
rigorous,
step
by
step
act
of
recollection
needed
to
find
one''s
way
home
to
oneself.
Truong
Tran
was
born
in
Saigon,
Vietnam,
in
1969.
He
is
the
author
of
six
previous
collections
of
poetry,
The
Book
of
Perceptions,
Placing
the
Accents,
Dust
and
Conscience,
Within
the
Margins,
Four
Letter
Words
and
100
words
(coauthored
with
Damon
Potter).
He
also
authored
the
children's
book
Going
Home
Coming
Home,
and
an
artist
monograph,
I
Meant
to
Say
Please
Pass
the
Sugar.
He
is
the
recipient
of
the
Poetry
Center
Prize,
the
Fund
for
Poetry
Grant,
the
California
Arts
Council
Grant
and
numerous
San
Francisco
Arts
Commission
Grants.
