A queer writer gone too soon...

It's just a coincidence, but our recent discussion of John Kennedy Toole (scroll down for that posting), came to mind when I read reviews of the just-published Afterparties: Stories by Anthony Veasna So, a Cambodian-American gay writer who died of a drug overdose last year at the age of 28. I've just ordered my copy of the book, but the buzz leads me to surmise that it could make a fine addition to our next reading list. Here are profiles of So and reviews of his books from Vulture, the New York Times, The Atlantic and the Washington Post.
