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.
