   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.
