Rules of the House by Tsering Wangmo Dhompa [in AsianWeek]

Rules of the House“It is not the accuracy of the story that concerns us,” the author writes in the title’s opening poem. “But who gets to tell it.” Dhompa captures her fractured self through explorations of her Tibetan heritage, her immigrant coming-of-age, and all the stories in between in this elliptical collection.
