@werewolfapologist “Blueprint for Revolution” by Srđa Popović, because I found a reference to it at the end of “Our Missing Hearts” by #CelesteNg. Working through the net of cross-references, inspirations and citations, from text to text ….

Fazit: Diskriminierung erkennen – gewaltfrei protestieren.

Celeste Ng schreibt in diesem Roman über ein Amerika in der Zukunft, aber diese Geschichte ist alles andere als unwirklich, viel mehr scheint sie genau so schon erschreckend real. Antiasiatische Diskriminierung hat es in Amerika immer gegeben und gerade nach der Pandemie hat sich diese wieder verstärkt ... Dieser Roman erschüttert und bewegt zugleich ...

Finished Our Missing Hearts by Celeste Ng. Admittedly, upon starting, I had my doubts.

They were 100% misplaced. This is her best work thus far. This is not a slight on her first two books, which I do recommend. Just save this one for last. What talent she has.

So incredibly well done.

OMG...."Our Missing Hearts" by #CelesteNg....can't put it down.

So good....and a warning.......it parallels what's going on with
book banning...leads to outlawing protests, books, real journalism....PACT is today's GOP....the rise of the authoritarian state.....🔥

Even uit onze jas gewaaid en nu lekker op de bank met deze. Zo goed geschreven #CelesteNg #boeken #books

A star called Henry #roddydoyle this entire book is dark, humorous poetry. Also, really enjoying Our Missing Hearts #celesteng listening on #audiable narrated by #lucyliu - I say ‘enjoying’ as much as it's beautifully written, it's all just so terrifyingly close to a possible reality. Christmas reading at it's darkest.

Started this #audiobook #ourmissinghearts by #celesteng today. Such beautiful prose. It’s about Bird Gardner, who lives in America under laws meant to “protect American culture.” One day he receives a letter covered in cats from his mother, a Chinese American poet missing for years deemed by the state as unpatriotic. The book documents his search for his mom and his efforts to decode the letter. @bookstodon #currentlyreading #books #reading

Ich lese gerade „Unsre verschwundenen Herzen“ und heule wie ein Schlosshund. Celeste Ng ist eine fantastische Schriftstellerin. Ich muss dringend auch ihre anderen Bücher lesen. #Literatur #Dystopie #Bücher #Rassismus #USA #CelesteNg

@ShellKR I just finished it and it was amazing.

I look forward to hearing what you think!

I fell somewhere between Nathan and Lydia: I knew how not to drown, but I did not really know how to swim. After I started telling my mother, "No. Enough", it was very messy for a long time! If we are lucky we can use our parents' pushing to get out of their rut--without falling into another one of our own.

Such a powerful book, so richly layered. Little Fires Everywhere is good, too.

Reading Celeste Ng's Everything I Never Told You and am blown away by the story and the writing.
