Sour Heart
Stories
Jenny Zhang
"Exploring adolescence through the eyes of Chinese-American girls growing up in New York City, Sour Heart showcases Jenny Zhang as a fresh and subversive interpreter of the immigrant experience in America. From a public school in Flushing to the Cultural Revolution in 1960s Shanghai, these seven stories depict the experiences of young women struggling to come to terms with themselves, their families, their bodies, and their poverty. With honesty, humor, and heart, Sour Heart is a darkly funny and intimate rendering of girlhood that will leave you in love."

Jenny Zhang’s astounding short-story collection, Sour Heart, combines ingenious and tightly controlled technical artistry with an unfettered emotional directness that frequently moves, within single sentences, from overwhelming beauty to abject pain. The collection’s organising theme is familial love that warps a person beyond all recognition: specifically, a type of immigrant devotion with a power that is both creative and entropic, and which affects its recipients in idiosyncratic ways. – источник
