This groundbreaking anthology gathers works from both emerging and established voices to articulate a collective yet deeply individualized vision of queer Asian Pacific American life. Co-edited by future literary sensation Hanya Yanagihara and managing director Quang Bao, the collection navigates themes of domesticity, generational heritage, camp, Hollywood typecasting, and contemporary relationships. By refusing standard monolithic summaries, Take Out provides an essential, defiant space for artists exploring the layered realities of being gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender within the diaspora.
