"Ghost Of seeks to understand his death, familial, transnational, and intergenerational trauma—all the silences and secrets. It is a radical eulogy for and to Oliver, because I wish I could still converse with my brother."
出典: Literary Hub (interview) (2018年) -
"a collection of 'exile and elegy.'"
出典: Terrance Hayes (foreword) (2018年)
