Have You Eaten?

A novella in four parts

(Surprise!)

Have You Eaten? is out this week!

If you’re thinking “what do you mean, you have a new project out? I haven’t heard of this!” don’t worry – you’re not alone. Have You Eaten? is a project that has been years in the making, under cover of darkness, and now I finally get to tell you about it!

In a near-future world where you can't trust anyone but your closest companions, nothing matters as much as the family you choose. Have You Eaten? is a serialized novella about queer dirtbags on the run, searching for their missing best friend. It's the story of how they nurture and nourish each other with their limited emotional and material resources. The entire novella is out this week over at Reactor, with sections going up each day between now and Thursday. You can read Part 1 now.

Each installment of Have You Eaten? is accompanied by an original recipe from my recipe box. You'll also find stunning original art from friend of my heart and genuine superstar, Shing Yin Khor. Thank you so much to the whole team at Reactor for getting behind this wild-ass project–I am so proud of what we've made together!

💙 The Legend of Auntie Po by Shing Yin Khor

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

“This is a story about stories. This is a story about gods and men.”

Part historical fiction, part fable, and 100 percent adventure. Thirteen-year-old Mei reimagines the myths of Paul Bunyan as starring a Chinese heroine while she works in a Sierra Nevada logging camp in 1885.

I loved this book. The message on who owns myths was so poignant, the associations of white privilege was honest, and the story was about stories. I’m at a loss for words about how hard this graphic novel hit when it comes to talking about culture, racism, and white blindness. I also really appreciated the Author’s Note at the end paying recognition to the Indigenous peoples of America and admitting that the author could not share their story, so she shared her own story.

Even though the book is set in the late 1880’s, a lot of the messages are still important to current times.

Friends, I’m thrilled to share a preview of I BELONG TO YOU / MOTHERLAND, a book of illustrated poetry that’s been set to music that will be performed on June 25 in Austin, Texas, by Inversion Ensemble and Invoke! Please click here to buy your tickets: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/inversion-ensemble-presents-i-belong-to-you-tickets-270735064867

I BELONG TO YOU / MOTHERLAND explores growing up as an Asian American kid in Texas in the 1970s and 1980s and grappling with the sense of not quite belonging while simultaneously feeling totally bound to the environment and flora and fauna of the state. The story’s also an elegy to my mother, Jane Pak, and how she taught me to observe and participate in the world. It’s one of the most personal things I’ve ever written, and I’m enormously grateful to Inversion, Invoke, and to all of the contributing artists for their incredible support and partnership.

The book’s brilliant illustrators include Sean Chen, Dustinn Craig, Shing Yin Khor, Irma Knivilla, Ann Smith, and Ethan Young. The gar in the pages above was drawn by Shing Yin Khor; the other line art is by Ethan Young. The luminous black and white photos were taken by my mother.

The book itself can be bought exclusively for the next month from Dragon’s Lair Austin. Support a local comic shop and order it today!  https://www.dlair.net/austin/

Thanks so much and all the best!

💡 Did you know KINDLING has not one but THREE maps? 💡

I love maps in books, but because the story of KINDLING is so focused on the defense of a single mountain village, it didn't make sense to include a world map or even a map of the entire country. Instead, the maps in KINDLING correspond to the action of each part of the story: first the northlands, where the kindlings find each other, then the mountain village of Camas, before and after the kindlings arrive to protect it. I think it provides a really unique and intimate look at the world of KINDLING, with a wealth of details you might not otherwise see!

We were lucky enough to have artist Shing Yin Khor draw the maps for us, and I'm so in love with the way they came out. I've been a fan of Shing's since reading The Legend of Auntie Po, their award-winning graphic novel about a Chinese American girl growing up in the logging camps of the Sierra Nevada in 1885, and when we were thinking of commissioning this series of maps for KINDLING, they were the very first person who came to mind. Their maps just feel so lived in, as if the characters have only momentarily vacated the premises, and any second now they’ll reappear to pick up their belongings and continue their everyday lives, and I'm so pleased they agreed to a short interview because it provides a fascinating look into their thinking and process, with bonus sketches! Here's a snippet from the interview, which comes out tomorrow via my newsletter:

"I think that a good map is indistinguishable from being its own narrative device - as a cartoonist, I think I just naturally assume that of course maps are not information, but histories of people and spaces. Even if a map of this sort does not have people, I think that it should still attempt to tell the story of the people who live there."

🙏 Thank you so much to Shing for answering all my nerdy questions about maps! Subscribe to my Substack to read the full Q&A, out tomorrow!

The Legend of Auntie Po by Shing Yin Khor; Illustrated by Shing Yin Khor

Sometimes it can be easy to forget the history that was never recorded. Shing Yin Khor rejects that and insists “fiction will have to restore us.” The Legend of Auntie Po not only reimagines Paul Bunyan as a wise Chinese auntie but also unearths forgotten pieces of Chinese activism during the 1880s in vividly colored panels.

This was one of my favorite books from 2021. Highly recommend Khor's graphic novel that seamlessly interweaves Chinese and American folklore while also reclaiming space and history.

Auntie Po gives Stevo vibes and I am always here for that.

you ever get read to absolute filth by a tarot deck

#my GOD #needs must say things #been dabbling with it since getting this desk from an artist i like and my god i think every reading ive done has been scathing #granted i think it's like 3 now lol but oof #it's shing yin khor's strange beast desk btw. they're so cool #okay i need to go to bed goodnight

[sleepnoises]

i posted about shing yin khor's a mending and people indicated they would like to know more!

a mending is a game where you pick two points on a map, your home and a friend's home, and draw or embroider a route between them. as you pass from one square of the map to the next, you draw cards. cards may be a random encounter or they may invite you to more deeply consider your relationship with your friend. you are supposed to mark events with beads, buttons, or stitches if playing on a fabric map, and it is suggested you journal as you go.

i did not journal or extensively embellish on my playthough because i had been putting off playing this for years for fear of its preciousness—a quick playthrough made me want to play again, slower, and luckily the fabric map will only look better with multiple paths.

the fabric version can be purchased at the link above. i also liked this article about it that expands out to include more crafting games.

#it's spendy but it is also very cool and you get a little pouch out of it. #on the other hand i now badly want an expansion pack with different fabric maps.

Have You Eaten? part 4 of 4 is live at Reactor! 

Read the end of the story (although really, there's no such thing as the end for this one) as Quan, Morrow, Harper, and Fen find themselves at the Rosemary Patch, meeting the family that made one of them into the person they've become. Featuring a recipe I've made without light, without power, and without running water. I hope you all love this one as much as I do.

If you haven’t heard, Have You Eaten? is my serialized novella about queer dirtbags on the run, searching for their missing best friend. It's the story of how they nurture and nourish each other with their limited emotional and material resources. The entire novella is out now at Reactor. Each installment of Have You Eaten? is accompanied by an original recipe from my recipe box. You'll also find stunning original art the incredible Shing Yin Khor. 

The thesis of this project, at the start, was "here's how community actually works," and in the process of making this thing happen, I've felt it in my bones. We show up for each other, and frustrate each other, and make things together, and let each other down, and mend each other's hearts. I owe such a debt of gratitude for the team at Reactor for putting this together; to my brilliant friend Shing Yin Khor; to all the friends and colleagues who supported this project as it was secretly in the works, enduring taste-tests, Ship-of-Theseus questions about changing recipes in dire circumstances, and questions about the geography of Chicago. Thank you to everyone who listened and cared and showed up, and to everyone who forgave me when I was losing my mind in the process of writing it, and to everyone who made it better by touching it. I am so, so proud of what we made together.

Read the entire novella here.

Hii! What are some books you read this year you wish people talked about more? 😊

Sorry it’s taken me so long to answer this, but I had to go through my list!

Five books/series that I wish people talked about more would be:

1. The Modern Faerie Tales Series by Holly Black. I actually liked this trilogy more than the Folk of the Air one!

2. The Legend of Auntie Po by Shing Yin Khor because it was a great story and gave us a very important look at how myths shape our lives.

3. The Crane Husband by Kelly Barnhill because it hit me really hard when I read it.

4. The Fire Within by Chris d’Lacey. I just really connected to this story. I know it’s pretty popular but I don’t see it often and I really enjoyed it!

5. How to Resist Amazon and Why by Danny Caine was INSANELY informational about why we shouldn’t support Amazon in our capitalistic world and different ways we can do better.

#godzilla reads #bookworm #booklr #reading #bookish

[thecrenellations]

okay, trying to go for at least one answer that’s funny because it’s extremely expected and one that’s funny because it’s unexpected???

2 3 6 12 21 25

these are the questions.

I think you succeeded, my anonymous inquisitor! (I laughed/smiled when I read the questions.)

2. Did you reread anything? What? YES, I DID! I was going to provide some numbers for this and got a little lost in the details, but half of the individual books I read this year were ones I've read before, I read some of those books (Lion Hunters) multiple times, and then I went and reread a bunch of the ones that were new to me, especially the Lymond Chronicles! The Game of Kings wins, I think. No, I know. I love rereading, and my favorite stories are the kind that make me love it more!

3. What were your top five books of the year? In alphabetical order, with an only-one-book-per-series restriction and my apologies to a few books I liked nearly as much or the same amount as these ones: The Game of Kings by Dorothy Dunnett, He Who Drowned the World by Shelley Parker-Chan, The Legend of Auntie Po by Shing Yin Khor, A Power Unbound by Freya Marske, and Stateless by Elizabeth Wein.

6. Was there anything you meant to read but never got to? I should have thought to split up my answers, but yes! I remembered a few of the nonfiction ones: The Power of Babel by John McWhorter, Ducks by Kate Beaton, Caring For Your Books by Michael Dirda, Karachi Vice by Samira Shackle, and a biography of John Gielgud

12. Any books that disappointed you? Certain aspects of the Lymond Chronicles, the new-reading highlight of my year, disappointed me in ways that I have also found deeply interesting to talk and think about, and I felt that Wild Maps for Curious Minds: 100 New Ways to See the Natural World did not quite deserve its title. Get wilder and more curious!

21. Did you participate in or watch any booklr, booktube, or book twitter drama? These questions are from 2019, so I suppose they predate booktok becoming a major thing! But I certainly watched Claire run around Schuler books and, dramatically, cause The Thief and Code Name Verity to sell out!

At @red-sea-itinerary, the capital of booklr, our polls have been very dramatic, and an author has weighed in. We should all remember Abreha's palace's water clock. Nearly everyone prefers coffee with Turunesh over kingship and no one thinks Medraut should have the latter. Birds. And Telemakos is taller than Lleu!!!

25. What reading goals do you have for next year? To get around to a few of those books in 6, to read more nonfiction (I think trying more via audiobook would help), to read more diversely in terms of authors (including time periods), and to read another series that's new to me! Maybe to help poke a certain loose book club into meeting again? To have fun and escape and think and learn. Reading was enough of a challenge during and after college that I still feel delighted and grateful that I've been reading regularly and finding new books I love. :)

#thanks for asking! #GoK was at 4 proper reads and then i went and revisited a whole lot of my favorite scenes on saturday night so who knows honestly #;) #runners up for the top five question are system collapse and this is how you lose the time war #i thought i'd read other ever afters in 2023 but in fact it was last december! #still under a year ago i suppose #and i think the other lymond that would make the list is Pawn in Frankincense? #also i really feel like i'm forgetting books people i know have read and talked about this year #that i've been interested in reading #perhaps they will return #questions
