“ I'VE BEEN SOUCY'D!!!!!

It's a beautiful nightmare come true!
And is there any Asian American nightmare greater than a vision of achievement denied?

REJECTION LETTER's just-a-touch-larger-than-life 50s-era sitcom dad is a perfect intermediary between Miskatonic's warmly formal epistle of inadmittance and my fragilely optimistic namesake suddenly more vulnerable despite being in a supportive presence.

The tone is pitch-perfect, like a demon and its human prey merrily harmonizing as one devours the other, subtly examining the place of non-white non-straight people in a world that celebrates evil as it slowly considers tolerance. Even at home, progress is provisional.

Bravo! ”
