Kim. \nThe border cuts you in two. \nWhen you immigrate\, you leave a copy of yourself behind\, an instance. One person enters their new country; the other stays trapped at home. \nSome instances keep in touch\, call each other daily\, keep their lives and minds in sync in the hopes of reintegrating and resuming a life as one person. Others\, like Soyoung Rose Kang\, leave home at ten years old and never speak to their other selves again. Rose\, in America\, never imagined going back to Korea until her grandfather died and her Korean instance called her home for the funeral. \nShe doesn’t know that Soyoung plans to steal her body and her life.\nHow far would you go to live the choice you didn’t make? \n\n\n\nFor over 30 years\, the Asian American Writers’ Workshop (AAWW) has been dedicated to publishing and amplifying Asian American literary culture. Operating from a radically inclusive ethos\, AAWW expands the definition not only of who is a writer\, but also of who is Asian American. Through a robust and diverse lineup of programming\, AAWW serves as a vital sanctuary space for writers and readers alike. \n\n\n\nPhoto credit: Amanda Silberling \nIsabel J.

He hosts a traveling food show\, works with his best friend\, and samples the best the world has to offer. There’s only one problem: his love life. Hubie treats his romantic partners as courses on a tasting menu. His one rule when it comes to love: three months and it’s over. Hubie is no hubby. \nThen he meets Anastasia\, a mysterious woman who seems to share his approach to life—she wants fun\, sex\, and the freedom to depart before dawn. They have chance encounters in glamorous locations around the world—a luxury spa in the Utah desert\, a cliffside hideaway in Jamaica\, exclusive Los Angeles parties—where they party and flirt with electric energy\, but are always with other partners. When they finally connect\, the chemistry is undeniable. Just as they find a way to be together\, the specters of their pasts—the secrets and burdens beneath their carefree exteriors—arise to threaten everything. Will they be able to accept each other fully when they know the full truth? Can they shake off shame\, regret\, and emotional baggage to free themselves to love? \nSharply comic but with hidden depths\, Come Undone is about how we run from love and how it hunts us down.“Come for the satirical millennial cringe and over-the-top luxury lifestyle fantasy\, stay for the surprisingly sensitive portrayal of a bombastic\, bighearted Asian American dudebro who risks it all for a chance at the real thing: true love! Exuberantly horny and—believe it or not—absolutely romantic.”—Jean Chen Ho\, author of Fiona and Jane \n\n\n\nEddie Huang is a decorated chef\, director\, and New York Times bestselling author. Owner of the iconic Baohaus\, which ushered in a generation of Taiwanese-Chinese restaurants and launched his career hosting Huang’s World for Vice\, Huang went on to adapt his memoir\, Fresh Off the Boat\, into a critically acclaimed ABC comedy series.
