A playful and deeply affective short story collection about the histories, technologies, and generational divides that shape our relationshipsfrom the award-winning writer ofDays of Distraction Compelling and perceptive, Tomb Sweepingprobes the loyalties we hold: to relatives, to strangers, and to ourselves.In stories set across the US and Asia, Alexandra Chang immerses us in the lives of immigrant families, grocery store employees, expecting parents, and guileless lab assistants. A woman known only to her neighbors as the Asian recycling lady collects bottles from the streets she calls home. A young college grad ponders the void left from a broken friendship. An unfulfilled housewife in Shanghai finds a secret outlet for her ambitions in an undercover gambling den. Two strangers become something more through the bond of mistaken identity. These characters, adeptly attuned to the mystery of living,invite us to consider whether it is possible for anyone to entirely do right by another. Tomb Sweepingbrims with remarkable skill and talent in every story, keeping a definitive pulse on loss, community, and what it means to feel fully alive. With her debut story collection, Chang further establishes herself as a writer to watch (New York Times Book Review).
