Through a series of stories - some epic like her mother and father's daring escapes from communes during China's Cultural Revolution and some banal like her quitting Chinese school to watch Saturday morning cartoons - Wong carefully examines the cultural historical language and personality barriers to intimacy in her family seeking answers to the questions Where did I come from? and Where are we going? At the same time she discovers how storytelling can bridge distances and help make sense of a life. A book for children of immigrants trying to honour their parents pasts while also making a different kind of future for themselves All Our Ordinary Stories is poignant in its understated yet nuanced depictions of complicated family dynamics. Wong's memoir is a heartfelt exploration of identity and inheritance as well as a testament to the transformative power of stories both told and untold.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: All Our Ordinary Stories A Multigenerational Family Odyssey\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Wong Teresa\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Arsenal Pulp Press\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781551529493\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 240 Pages, 240 Illustrations, Unspecified\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 9\/24\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Graphic Novels: True Stories \u0026amp; Non-Fiction","brand":"Wong Teresa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51335746257201,"sku":"IN-G-9781551529493","price":18.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9781551529493.jpg?v=1746960549","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781551529493-all-our-ordinary-stories-a-multigenerational-family-odyssey","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
