Asian American Translations

“In Asian American Translations, Molly Zhu envelops us in Chinese and American culture, her family, the people she loves and how they fare in America… Her first chapbook is an invitation into her world and if you enter you will be rewarded with beautiful imagery, literary skill, and a vulnerability that leaves you hungry for more.” Review by Kristy Snedden in Anti-Heroin Chic.

“Molly Zhu’s stunning chapbook debut, Asian American Translations, is a deep and tender meditation on the delicate act of growing up and how time, distance, and differences in culture can create chasms in meaning and understanding. Zhu asks what gets lost in translation, not merely from one language to another, but from generation to generation.” Review by Chelsea Fanning in Fatal Flaw Literary Magazine. Read more here.
