Or word play on 龙 (the Chinese word for \"dragon\"), the creatures that have a larger foothold on our realities than we'd let on. Our mother tongue is afflicted with a compendium of beasts-from foxes to dragons to butterflies. Our existence is always inexorably linked with wildness, an act of rebellion against external forces. This chapbook explores the Chinese language, in addition to Chinese mythology and pop culture references, to reflect on the tension of minority existence and generational trauma. It seeks to confront the metaphorical dragons in our family, from war to racism to cultural practices and stereotypes, including ideas of femininity and filial piety, to understand how they've shaped us into who we are today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 46\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.13 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 01, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52731380171059,"sku":"9781957840222","price":20.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/Zz7MO-Srjk9781957840222.webp?v=1763855800","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/the-long-lasting-grief-of-foxes-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
