Messy Roots: A Graphic Memoir of a Wuhanese American by Laura Gao
Harper Collins
Regular price
$ 14.99
A TOUR DE FORCE of graphic memoir storytelling about growing up a queer Chinese-American immigrant in Texas.
After spending her early years in Wuhan, China, riding water buffalos and devouring stinky tofu, Laura immigrates to Texas, where her hometown is as foreign as Mars—at least until 2020, when COVID-19 makes Wuhan a household name.
In Messy Roots, Laura illustrates her coming-of-age as a girl who simply wants to make the basketball team, escape Chinese school, and figure out why girls make her heart flutter.
