Leise Hook

In a series of themed graphic essays, Leise Hook reflects on life as a multiracial person caught in a limbo between her white and Chinese roots.

She has a very thought-provoking perspective to offer, but since it is not a full memoir there are also some frustrating gaps. What is offered is very compelling, and I look forward to seeing what she does next.

Disclosure: I received access to a copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley.com.
