"Long Le-Khac expertly demonstrates how aesthetic form can reveal solidarities within and across ethnic and racial differences. Giving Form to an Asian and Latinx America reveals this capacity in transfiction, finding community within shared historical ground and political aspirations."—Crystal Parikh, New York University "Long Le-Khac elaborates a concept of transfictional literature that provides an important means of understanding the formation of Asian and Latinx communities in relation to one another, at mid-century and within our contemporary moment. This unique book is a wonderful contribution that will enrich the growing scholarship on comparative racialization."—Lisa Lowe, Yale University "Long Le-Khac offers a completely new way of understanding the form and substance of the stories of our time. Giving Form to an Asian and Latinx America fundamentally rearranges the way that scholars of American literature in general will view the work of a new generation of U.S. ethnic writers."—Ramón Saldivar, Stanford University
