A dazzling mother-daughter adventure around the world in pursuit of
self-discovery, a family reckoning, and Asian American defiance In
Chinese, the closest expression to "oh my god" is "wo de ma ya."
It's an interjection, a polite expletive, something to say when
you're out of words. Translated literally, it means "oh my
mother"-the instinctual first person you think of when you're on
the cusp of losing it, or putting it all together. In each essay of
this hilarious, heartfelt, and pitch-perfectly honest memoir,
journalist Connie Wang explores her complicated relationship to her
stubborn and charismatic mother Qing Li through the "oh my god"
moments in their travels together, venturing into the world to find
their place in it, and sometimes rail against it-as well as against
each other. This brilliantly original work of feminism and flaw is
Eat, Pray, Love for a new generation-if our real-life heroine had
Minor Feelings and Trick Mirror in her suitcase and her always
endearing, occasionally infuriating mother in the copilot seat; and
if, instead of finding themselves through pasta and yoga, this
iconic mother-daughter duo attended a Magic Mike strip show in
Vegas, experimented with edibles in Amsterdam, and flip-flopped
through Versailles, wondering where their next trip would lead.
Fort Bliss, Texas is not only one of the most important military
installations in the continental U.S., but it is also one of the
most haunted. Inside these pages are stories of various spirits
still inhabiting its halls and grounds.
