   Aug 3, 2021 · Here is my first read from the Tournament of Books 2022 long list! Afterparties is very strong in voice, stories flitting between Cambodian American characters in Stockton, CA. A lot about family, identity, sexuality, and generational difference (one coming from a genocide, one being lazy in the suburbs.)

   Aug 28, 2021 · So much in these stories is about how tragedy permeates everything (even – perhaps, especially – when we’re trying not to let it) that attempting to read the collection whilst ignoring the loss of the author felt inimical to the book itself. Afterparties is a collection of 10 stories, each one an intricate world unto itself. When placed ...

   Is afterparties a good book?

   • Afterparties isn't perfect. As with every story collection, there are a couple that probably could have been left out. And there's some graphic sex and a bit of scatological stuff, so if that bothers you, caveat emptor. The book has a bright, sometimes rambling style that appealed to me, but may not be for everyone.

   Why should I read afterparties?

   • Veasna is such a strong writer and his stories are compelling, complex, and deep. Though at times the stories felt a bit too drawn out, the beauty of Afterparties is that all of the characters in the various stories are connected to one another, placing Easter eggs - and commentary on immigrant life - throughout the collection.

   • Afterparties fits within the small category of brilliant short story collections placed within but not bounded by self-contained American ethnic communities, in which the characters, emotions, and relationships transcend their communities into an ecumenical American-ness.

   What makes 'afterparties' a good movie?

   • So’s stories allow the past to well up into the present without force or preciousness. “Afterparties” insists on a prismatic understanding of Cambodian American diaspora through stories that burst with as much compassion as comedy, making us laugh just when we’re on the verge of crying.
