“Chau Bradley comes off as a self-aware author, and their work reflects that: many stories feature characters in a blunt, honest light, showing the depths of isolation and mental health issues in an intimate way.”
\n\u2014Billie Gagn\u00e9-LeBel, Montreal Review of Books<\/i><\/p>\n

“Chau Bradley\u2019s writing is shimmering, beautiful, and funny. There\u2019s no question they\u2019re a new writer to watch. I loved this book.”
\n\u2014Casey Plett, Chatelaine<\/i><\/p>\n

“Clever and complex.”
\n\u2014Angela Mazza, Maisonneuve<\/em><\/p>\n

“[This collection’s] stories are deft even when they are wild … and the dialogue is so keen, so perfectly pitched.”
\n\u2014S. Bear Bergman, Xtra<\/em><\/p>\n

“Queer maverick H Felix Chau Bradley\u2019s adventurous debut is what the broken world needs right now … Personal Attention Roleplay<\/em> is a power to the people collection\u2014daring, propulsive, and fun.<\/span>”
\n\u2014Jennifer Tseng, author of Mayumi and the Sea of Happiness
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWith an enticing mix of sincerity, irony, and wit, the stories in Chau Bradley\u2019s Personal Attention Roleplay<\/i> offer brilliant portrayals of deliciously awkward interactions and isolations. No image, no metaphor, is out of place in the mouth of its speaker, and each speaker is a sympathetic (even while, at times, flawed) representation of their generation, community, and culture. The effect is an effortlessly cool book that gifts a welcome shakeup to Asian Canadian lit. To say I\u2019m inspired is an understatement.\u201d
\n\u2014Jenny Heijun Wills, author of Older Sister. Not Necessarily Related: A Memoir<\/i><\/p>\n

\u201dChau Bradley\u2019s first collection is supremely ordinary but that\u2019s its magic, their stories are deeply experiential and in their familiar excess I felt transported into an array of different bodies and moments that make up this time and each ending releasing me into the next set of conditions that puzzle out the almost sci fi specificity of the unexpected world ‘this’ contemporary is. I felt compelled to keep reading being held by an impulse to not be alone today or tonight. Personal Attention Roleplay <\/i>is a canny and companionable book, actually sweet.”
\n\u2014Eileen Myles, author of Chelsea Girls<\/i><\/p>\n

Une jeune gymnaste s\u2019\u00e9prend d\u2019une co\u00e9quipi\u00e8re plus \u00e2g\u00e9e et plus talentueuse, tout en devant composer avec sa m\u00e8re d\u00e9bord\u00e9e. Une vingtenaire qui vient de d\u00e9couvrir son identit\u00e9 queer tente de g\u00e9rer deux relations intimes : une idylle anarchiste et une liaison avec un b\u00e9n\u00e9ficiaire de repas \u00e0 domicile atypique. La tourn\u00e9e d\u2019\u00e9t\u00e9 d\u2019un groupe de m\u00e9tal queer d\u00e9rape dans la chaleur moite du nord-est des \u00c9tats-Unis. Une auteure de listicles cod\u00e9pendante d\u00e9veloppe une obsession pour une cha\u00eene japonaise d\u2019ASMR.<\/p>\n

Les r\u00e9cits de Personal Attention Roleplay<\/em> sont anim\u00e9es par la solitude queer, la confusion m\u00e9tiss\u00e9e, le d\u00e9sespoir capitaliste et les pi\u00e8ges de l\u2019intimit\u00e9. Ayant lieu \u00e0 Montr\u00e9al, Toronto et ailleurs, ils mettent en sc\u00e8ne des jeunes personnes asiatiques dans leur qu\u00eate de se voir refl\u00e9t\u00e9es \u2013 dans leur environnement, chez les autres et en ligne. Le langage pr\u00e9cis de Chau Bradley et son exploration de nos motivations les plus troublantes se distinguent dans ce premier ouvrage humoristique et ironique, dont les histoires \u00e9voquent l\u2019inhabituel tout en demeurant ancr\u00e9es dans le quotidien.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
