Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. **Winner, Ockham New Zealand Book Awards 2024, Mary and Peter Briggs Award for Poetry****Winner, Victorian Prize for Literature 2024****Winner, Victorian Premiers Literary Awards 2024, Poetry**When Ping leaves Hong Kong to live in the South Island of Aotearoa New Zealand, she discovers that life in the Land of the Long White Cloud is not the prosperous paradise she was led to believe it would be. Every day she works in a rat-infested shop frying fish, and every evening she waits for her wayward husband, armed with a vacuum cleaner to suck all the bad thing out. Her four children are a brood of monolingual aliens. Eldest daughter Cherry struggles with her mothers unhappiness and the responsibility of caring for her younger siblings, especially the rage-prone, meat-cleaver-wielding Baby Joseph.Chinese Fish is a family saga that spans the 1960s through to the 1980s. Narrated in multiple voices and laced with archival fragments and scholarly interjections, it offers an intimate glimpse into the lives of women and girls in a community that has historically been characterised as both a yellow peril menace and an exotic model minority.'a major poetic work of feminist, so-called minority writing, its originality and brilliance more than earning its space alongside such works as Kathleen Fallons Working Hot, Gloria Anzalduas Borderlands, and Alison Whittakerss BlakWork.' Marion May Campbell'As visually provocative as it is poetic, Chinese Fish portrays the fractured, multilayered, imperiled body of the immigrant story in a stunning work of genre-bending prose poetry. Yee has given the Chin family a literary resting place as complex and as searing as the New Zealand in which they survived.' Juli Min'an unflinchingly honest look at life behind closed doors, where resentment simmers, generations clash, and individual dreams are set aside for the interests of family.' Chris Tse, New Zealand Poet Laureate'Theres a wry humour to the book, sometimes shocking, but often subtle. The narrative is epic, fragmentary and suggestive.'

Soft cover. Etat : Very Good. A very good clean copy. A genre-bending poetry collection that tells the story of a Cantonese family settling in New Zealand across several generations, particularly from the 1960s to the 1980s. Through the experiences of Ping, her daughter Cherry and other family members, it explores migration, racism, family obligation, cultural dislocation and the often overlooked experiences of Chinese women in New Zealand. Combining multiple voices with archival material, scholarly fragments and visual forms, the collection blends poetry and family saga to examine the tensions between generations, cultures and expectations of immigrant life.
