“Cleo Qian’s Let’s Go Let’s Go Let’s Go, set alternately in Japan, China, Korea and America, is reminiscent of a disco ball—no matter which way you turn it, it remains luminous, catching the light and sending shards of brilliance into the air...We, the reader, are looking at these women. Perhaps we are the only ones who are. They ache to be seen, and as welook at them, we learn more about what it means to look, to be overlooked, what it means to be a woman, what it means to be a minority, and somehow, we learn more about ourselves as well.”![]()
