“Book Descriptions: A celebration of the infinite ways in which stories can be told, challenged, imagined, and subverted. From a fragmented ransom note to hanging footnotes, a contemporary fairy tale to coded text, intersecting pieces of flash fiction about driving to a backwards story about gradual blindness, a listicle about challenging corporate culture to how-to guides for performing wokeness, a Chicago intersection with eight separate destinies to an impossible dating application, Counterfactual Love Stories & Other Experiments is an exploration of not just mixed-race/hapa identity in Michigan (and the American Midwest), but also a triumphant affirmation of the world we live in, the people we love, the worlds we imagined, and the people we should have been with.
