Gods Of Want
Stories
K-Ming Chang
In ‘Auntland,’ a steady stream of aunts adjust to American life by sneaking surreptitious kisses from women at temple, buying tubs of strawberry ice-cream to prepare for citizenship tests, and hatching plans to name their daughter ‘Dog.’ In ‘The Chorus of Dead Cousins,’ ghost-cousins cross space, seas, and skies to haunt their live-cousin, wife to a storm-chaser. In ‘Xi?fu?,’ a mother-in-law tortures a wife in increasingly unsuccessful attempts to rid the house of her. In ‘Mariela,’ two girls explore one another’s bodies for the first time while in ‘Virginia Slim,’ a woman from a cigarette ad comes to life. And in ‘Resident Aliens,’ a former slaughterhouse serves as a residence to a series of widows, each harboring her own calamitous secrets
