Burden of Ashes
ByPublisher Description
"... An award-winning San Francisco writer whose work has been celebrated for its bold unconventionality, mixing humor with potent political and personal themes..." — SF Chronicle
"Justin Chin was prolific, he was funny, he was outrageous, he was somber, he was serious, he was lighthearted, he was vital. He was so vital." — Lambda Literary Report
"Nothing short of phantasmagoric... disturbing if Chin didn't seem so firmly in control of his language and self, both of which emerge here luminously." — Publishers Weekly"Though leavened by salty wit, this frank portrait of lacerating personal circumstances will make some readers marvel that the species survives at all." — Kirkus Reviews
