Go Home! Twenty-Four Journeys from the Asian American Writers' Workshop and the Feminist Press - Softcover

"Language allows for many homes, and perhaps the writers--and readers of the anthology too--will succeed in returning home, or finding a home, through these words." --NPR.org

"Effectively dismantling all sorts of stereotypes, Buchanan's anthology gives voice to notions of identity, belonging and displacement that are much more vast, complex and textually rich than mere geography." --Shelf Awareness

"This powerful collection will push readers." --Publishers Weekly

"Messy, generous, and often electrifying." --Foreword Reviews

"Readers, no matter their background, will find much to enjoy and contemplate here." --Booklist

"Go home, whatever, whoever, however, wherever that might be, and take this book with you." --8asians

"Revolutionary for all the iterations of "home" it shows through fiction, poetry, and memoir, sure to provoke a full range of emotions to swoon and clutch in my chest." --Literary Hub

"It reads like a loud urgent chorus about belonging and rejection--being here and there and nowhere at once." --Largehearted Boy

"Go Home! is particularly timely now, but the quality and the variety of the writing included means that the anthology will be just as engrossing and important a read in years to come." --BUST Magazine

"A can't-miss collection." --Book Riot

"Bold and devastating. . . the very definition of reclamation." --The International Examiner

"The notion of home has always been elusive. But as evidenced in these stories, poems, and testaments, perhaps home is not so much a place, but a feeling one embodies. I read this book and see my people--see us--and feel, in our collective outsiderhood, at home." --Ocean Vuong, author of Night Sky with Exit Wounds

"There is a whole range of expression in this book, delving deeply into the manifold experiences of being a perpetual alien. To be from nowhere is the state of Asian diaspora, but there is also a wild humor and imagination that comes from being underestimated, rarely counted, hardly seen. Here, we begin to draw the hopeful outlines of a collective history for those so disparate yet often lumped together." --Jenny Zhang, author of Sour Heart

"Go Home! is a bold, eclectic chorus that provides an invigorating antidote to the xenophobia of our times." --Ruth Ozeki, author of A Tale for the Time Being

"This anthology displays the colors of the liminal--half-tones and undertones mixing the wry, the irreverent, the outraged, the lyric, and the longing. A composite portrait of the Asian diasporic experience today." --Monica Youn, author of Blackacre: Poems

"Hats off to Rowan Hisayo Buchanan for putting together such a rich and diverse anthology. In these dark times, we need these voices and stories more than ever." --Jessica Hagedorn, author of Dogeaters

"In this new and daring collection, I find myself reliving moments of heartbreak that can only come from living in between two cultures--but also feeling profound relief in discovering I am not alone in these private burdens and joys. Go Home! should be celebrated, as reading it is a homecoming in itself." --Yumi Sakugawa, author of There Is No Right Way to Meditate: And Other Lessons
