So much of ORDINARY DISASTERS resonated with me--marriage to a white person, raising mixed-race children, aging bodies--but I really appreciated Cheng's pushback on Joan Didion.
@ssteingraber1@tracysoneill Coming here late to alert you to the "spoilers" in my review, in case you like to not know plot twists and turns. But really, it's not just the plot, it's the language and the author's sharp insight that make this book so amazing!
Looking forward to discussing this fabulous SciFi thriller with strong Korean themes tonight with the talented debut author Elaine Cho! Please join us!!

I’ve been lucky enough to have lived most of my life believing that good was on the ascendance and humanity was steadily inching toward those democratic ideals espoused in America’s foundational documents. Now, I realize I have to prepare myself for the Greek-tragedy ending.
Want to know how intercounty adoption became a thing? Read Yuri Doolan's groundbreaking book, THE FIRST AMERASIANS, which I reviewed. This book review was very personal for me, an Amerasian first wave Korean adoptee.
