The mind-frying hilarity of Anthony Veasna So’s first book of fiction settles him as the genius of social satire our age needs now more than ever. Few writers can handle firm plot action and wrenching pathos in such elegant prose. This unforgettable new voice is at once poetic and laugh-out-loud funny. These characters kept talking to me long after I closed the book I’m destined to read again and cannot wait to teach. Anthony Veasna So is a shiny new star in literature’s firmament and Afterparties his first classic.
