Cathy Park Hong is named one of TIME Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People in the World and is featured on one of its covers. Ali Wong described Cathy Park Hong’s MINOR FEELINGS as “the kind of book you want to dog-ear and underline. Reading it was such a crazy feeling: I felt so seen that I couldn’t believe that this book existed. And it’s become even more painfully relevant in a year in which anti-Asian violence… has spiked so aggressively, putting our communities on high alert and searching for solidarity. This is the book to read when you ask me, “How can I be an ally?” This is the book to read if you want to educate yourself. This is the book to read if you want to be more in touch with your humanity.” One World published the book in paperback March 2, 2021.
