BONE HOUSE
stories, K-Ming Chang
Bull City Press, 2021
~
K-Ming Chang's Bone House is a thing set down and a thing lifted, a thing out of place yet also the thing that is already an only belonging, that pulls a room from another room. If one feels named after the name they were given, this is why. Chang's language seems both imbued and evacuated, ghosted and gathered. The story itself, the stories themselves: is and are. I don't know. As for the story in these, our imperceptible ask: it is worded the way we've wished it told. The survived unshareable, the return that gives longing an end date, the romance that pearls possession from a cloned twin. And still this all becomes the first we've heard of it, a retelling of the offhandedly internal.
