Helen Chau Bradley<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

A young gymnast crushes on an older, more talented teammate while contending with her overworked mother. A newly queer twenty-something juggles two intimate relationships\u2014with a slippery anarchist lover and an idiosyncratic meals-on-wheels recipient. A queer metal band\u2019s summer tour unravels amid the sticky heat of the Northeastern US<\/a>. A codependent listicle writer becomes obsessed with a Japanese ASMR<\/a> channel.<\/p>\n

The stories in Personal Attention Roleplay<\/em> are propelled by queer loneliness, mixed-race confusion, late capitalist despondency, and the pitfalls of intimacy. Taking place in Montreal<\/a>, Toronto<\/a>, and elsewhere, they feature young Asian misfits struggling with the desire to see themselves reflected\u2014in their surroundings, in others, online. Chau Bradley\u2019s precise language and investigation of our more troubling motivations stand out in this wryly funny debut, through stories that hint at the uncanny while remaining grounded in the everyday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
