Summary:
"Meng Jin's critically acclaimed debut novel, Little Gods, was praised as 'spectacular and emotionally polyphonic (Omar El-Akkad, BookPage), 'powerful' (Washington Post), and 'meticulously observed, daringly imagined' (Claire Messud). Now Jin turns her considerable talents to
short
fiction, in ten thematically linked
stories
. Written during the turbulent years of the Trump administration and the first year of the pandemic, these
stories
explore intimacy and isolation, coming-of-age and coming to terms with the repercussions of past mistakes, fraying relationships and surprising moments of connection. Moving between San Francisco and China, and from unsparing realism to genre-bending delight,
Self-Portrait
with
Ghost
considers what it means to live in an age of heightened self-consciousness, seemingly endless access to knowledge, and little actual power. Page-turning, thought-provoking, and wholly unique,
Self-Portrait
with
Ghost
further establishes Meng Jin as a writer who 'reminds us that possible explanations in our universe are as varied as the beings who populate it'"--Publisher.
