The Story Game: A Memoir
|
"The Story Game introduces a major debut work from a most astounding talent […] The Story Game is hypnotic, wise, and thunderously innovative. I will teach this book, I will treasure it, and I will continue to learn from its astute and hopeful insights."
-- T Kira Madden, author of Long Live the Tribe of Fatherless Girls
"Shze-Hui Tjoa’s The Story Game is a beautiful and heartbreaking interrogation of memory, a memoir unlike any I’ve ever read. A powerful work of art and healing."
-- Jaquira Díaz, author of Ordinary Girls: A Memoir
Reading this, I forgot about the real room I was in. I felt fully contained in the invented room separating The Story Game’s chapters. In The Room, Shze-Hui Tjoa makes make-believe serious the way children do—but she does it by playing with the memoir genre […] After I read it, I felt a new world of creative possibilities opening. The Story Game is hyper-specific yet ethereal, serious and funny. It’s mesmerizing."
-- Jeannie Vanasco, author of Things We Didn't Talk About When I Was a Girl
