It was magical. I felt excited and hopeful and connected. Niv Sekar / @niv_notes , Nawaaz Ahmed / @nawaazonthenet , Monica Sok / @monicajuice , and Mira Jacob read funny poignant haunting beautiful excerpts of their work. Gina Chung / @ginathechung moderated as we talked about writing as religion, as growth, as carrying parents or past selves or loneliness, about finding/creating literary community, AAPI community.
I was deeply moved when Mira shared that she read my mom’s posthumously published novel The Fetishist while at MacDowell working on her new novel We Killed Anji Alexander, and that Mira found herself in dialogue with Mom.
Mom’s (Katherine Min’s) spirit of art-making for the love of it, of saying the difficult thing boldly and directly, and of rejoicing in being part of the larger literary world was very present, cheering all of us on. @kollinmin , you did your big sis proud! Thank you, @macdowell1907 and @kundimanforever and @yuandmebooks . Thank you to everyone who came 🧡🧡🧡🧡

Thirty Cabins is out today! Thank you to all the contributors for trusting me with your work, to everyone who preordered copies, and to everyone who helped spread the word about our little zine.

“Thirty Cabins is alternately charming and creepy, witty and sad, as diverse as the buildings that inspired it. What’s most striking, though, is how quickly these writers can create a scene, a collection of characters, a mood. In the cramped space of just two or three pages, they conjure up whole worlds.

“Like a little house in the woods, each one is a quirky marvel of engineering.”

– Ron Charles
