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.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n\r\n<div>\r\n<h2><\/h2>\r\n<h2>Details<\/h2>\r\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\r\n .TFtable<br \/> .TFtable td<br \/> \/*  Define the text for all the 2nd columns  *\/<br \/> .TFtable td:nth-child(2)<br \/><\/style>\r\n<table class=\"TFtable\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><strong>ISBN: <\/strong>9781889876115<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><strong>Subtitle: <\/strong>Queer Writing from Asian Pacific America<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><strong>Genre: <\/strong>Asian Interest; Anthology &#8211; Fiction<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><strong>Subject(s): <\/strong>American Literature &#8211; Asian American Authors; American Literature &#8211; Pacific Islander American Authors; Asian American Gays &#8211; Literary Collections; Gays&apos; Pacific Islander American Gays &#8211; Literary Collections; writings, American<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><strong>Publication Date: <\/strong>2000-10-15<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><strong>Original Publication Date: <\/strong><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><strong>Publisher: <\/strong>Temple University Press<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><strong>Language: <\/strong>English<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><strong>Format: <\/strong>Paperback<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><strong>Pages: <\/strong>507<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><strong>Rating: <\/strong> <\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><strong>Notes: <\/strong>Take Out: Queer Writing from Asian Pacific America (2000), edited by Quang Bao and Hanya Yanagihara and published by the Asian American Writers&#8217; Workshop, is a foundational literary anthology.
