This city is a minefield / by Aaron Chan. by Chan, Aaron. Signal 8 Press, 2019. Call #: 306.7662 C454t Subjects Chan, Aaron.   Gay men -- British Columbia -- Vancouver -- Biography.   Chinese Canadians -- British Columbia -- Vancouver -- Biography.   Vancouver (B.C.) -- Biography. ISBN:  9789887794912 (pbk.) Description:  249 p. ; 21 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references. Summary:  "This City is a Minefield is a collection of reflective memoir and personal essays told from a genuine and unique voice about growing up and coming of age as a young gay Chinese man in Vancouver. Thoughtful and honest, the stories and essays recounted are unafraid of analyzing and criticizing the status quo, whether it be Chinese culture's unfavourable view of homosexuality, or the gay community's ill-addressed, rampant sexual racism. At the same time an intimate, tender love letter to Vancouver filled with mixed emotions - joy, nostalgia, sadness - Chan weaves together poignant, heartbreaking experiences of navigating and reconciling conflicting cultural and queer identities, complicated romantic relationships, sex and trauma, and overwhelming loneliness that coalesce to form a rounded portrait of a quiet soul on a search for love and belonging. This City is a Minefield serves as a marker of life as a young queer person of colour in this modern age."
