Darien Hsu Gee is like no other writer working today. In her gorgeously lyrical, gratifyingly dense hybrid texts, she uses what seem at first like small stylistic decisions to offer startling and necessary social commentary. Gee’s work makes expert use of postmodern forms and experimental techniques to raise questions about the philosophy of language, to present the self as a cultural construct, to showcase speech as an inherently shared endeavor. Indeed, in these gorgeous and disruptive texts, the nuances of writerly technique are placed in service of entirely new definitions of community, otherness, and the self.
