praise
"[James Yeh is] probably one of the four or five best writers in the United States who hasn’t yet published a book."
--Kyle Minor, HTMLGIANT
Nice words about my chapbook "9/16/10," cited as a notable story in Best American Nonrequired Reading 2011:
"Spit out in tense, hypnotic prose, James Yeh's Taiwanese-American kaddish can be read in the time it takes you to brush your teeth, but I'm going to bet you don't forget its sadness or its post-Brooklyn dread for a long, long time."
--Ed Park, author of Personal Days/a founding editor of the Believer
"Yeh’s quiet meditation on death will sneak in and throw up a window in your soul with its intensity."
--Deb Olin Unferth, author of Revolution and Minor Robberies
Nice words about my zine collaborations with Andrew Bulger:
"Adorable [...] and sneakily haunting."
--Julia Jackson, Electric Literature's The Outlet blog
"An eight-page auto-bio zine that tells the story about James Yen [sic] being nervous about playing a show at a bar. A lot of it is about loneliness. There are only ten copies so I don’t know why I’m reviewing it."
--Nick Gazin, VICE
