A Roxane Gay's Audacious Book Club Pick!Named a Best Book of Summer by: Wall Street Journal * Thrillist * Vogue * Lit Hub * Refinery29 * New York Observer * The Daily Beast * Time * BuzzFeed * Entertainment Weekly A vibrant story collection about Cambodian-American life"immersive and comic, yet unsparing"that offers profound insight into the intimacy of queer and immigrant communitiesSeamlessly transitioning between the absurd and the tenderhearted, balancing acerbic humor with sharp emotional depth, Afterparties offers an expansive portrait of the lives of Cambodian-Americans. As the children of refugees carve out radical new paths for themselves in California, they shoulder the inherited weight of the Khmer Rouge genocide and grapple with the complexities of race, sexuality, friendship, and family.A high school badminton coach and failing grocery store owner tries to relive his glory days by beating a rising star teenage player. Two drunken brothers attend a wedding afterparty and hatch a plan to expose their shady uncle's snubbing of the bride and groom. A queer love affair sparks between an older tech entrepreneur trying to launch a "safe space�"� app and a disillusioned young teacher obsessed with Moby-Dick. And in the sweeping final story, a nine-year-old child learns that his mother survived a racist school shooter.The stories in Afterparties, "powered by So's skill with the telling detail, are like beams of wry, affectionate light, falling from different directions on a complicated, struggling, beloved American community�"� (George Saunders).

[EHON] Morikawa SO^BUN, artist

Miyako Meisho Niju^Go-Kei

1895. [EHON] Morikawa SOBUN, artist. MIYAKO MEISHO NIJUGO-KEI. Kyoto: Tanaka Jihei, Meiji 28 [1895]. Orihon in stiff covers with a printed title label, 24.1 x 15.7 cm. 25 double page color woodblock images of scenes in and around Kyoto. Besides the 25 images, there is a two page preface, two pages of a table of contents, and a two page afterword by Tomioka Tessai. The delicate pastoral scenes are in Sobun's unmistakable late Shijo/early Nihonga Kyoto style, and the printing is up to Tanaka Jihei's usual high standard. This book appears in none of the standard references. Sobun was an important artist of the period who contributed to several anthologies of the time, but no separate work by him appears in Ryerson or Mitchell. The covers are quite worn and faded. There is very slight browning and soiling internally, but the condition is good to very good overall, and the impressions are very good. An unusual item. Complete. .

[China]. So, Jenny F.

Music in the Age of Confucius.

Washington etc., Freer Gallery of Art and Arthur M. Sackler Gallery, Smithsonian Institution, 2000, 152 pag., coloured and b/w illustrations, paperback extra (as new).= Chinese archaeologists digging in central China in 1977 unexpectedly uncovered two of the earliest and most extensive groups of musical instruments in the entire ancient world, dating from nearly 2500 years ago. since these percussion, string, and wind instruments were in near-pristine condition - some still playable, others inscribed with musicological information - they provided hitherto unimagined possibilities for th study of music and the history of musical instruments in ancient China. Presented here are the insights of six specialists who describe these instruments' sophisticated tuning systems, techniques of manufacture and inscriptions revealing their musical and non-musical significance in ancient Chinese society. It has become apparent that different types of music existed in Bronze Age China (2000-500 BC) for state rituals as well as for private entertainment. The authors place this evidence in the context of recent archaeological discoveries and reassess it in light of classical history and the literature on Chinese music. The three main families of instruments are also examined in detail in individual chapters. Lovers of art and music, as well as enthusiast of archaeology, musicology, and cultural history, should find this a compelling and readable presentation of the latest research and ideas on one of the world's oldest and most profound artistic expressions.
