Summary:To be immersed in her books is to rub up against the rough-hewn emotions that bring her characters to life. The narrative arc of La agridolce vita is more contemplative in its pace, and it exudes an emotional suppleness that betrays the jolting scenes, like the taxicab birth, featured in her previous books. Rather than accept a hierarchal relation between facticity and fiction, Wu’s art contemplates the power of the fictive to augment our reality, recoding, even our future memories through the iterative structure of the performative. Notes “Linaje” was made possible, in part, by Julia Chang’s project “Teaching Migration and Race through Anti-Racist Art,” with funding from the Mellon Foundation Just Futures Initiative, the Migrations Initiative, and the Office of the Vice Provost for International Affairs. 1.
