Slant Alex Leslie using language that riffs uponDescription Sharp, accessible and witty, Slant offers a fresh exploration of issues of race, sexuality, and life in the global village. The collection alternates between three main themes of childhood and family in the Chinese diaspora; gay sexuality, community and rites of passage; and voyages literal and metaphorical. Slant asks "how do we belong?" and answers in a voice that is compelling and unique. Details Nightwood Editions ISBN: 9780889711792
