“Literature needs Small Beauty.” —Tethered by Letters
“A quiet, gorgeous meditation on grief, race, and community, Wilson-Yang’s writing more than delivers on the title’s promise.” —Lambda Literary
“Wilson-Yang’s writing is uncommon, combining a rare talent for poetic description with a solid grasp on the techniques of prose.” —Plenitude
“Some of the most gorgeous writing trans lit has been blessed with.” —The Winnipeg Review
“Wilson-Yang deftly weaves and unweaves the threads of narrative tropes that have come to dominate the telling of the stories of trans women, lesbians, migrants, and Chinese North Americans.” —Autostraddle
“Small Beauty’s quiet power is well on its way to much-deserved acclaim.” —Montreal Review of Books
“Evocative of classic Canadiana, Wilson-Yang’s book offers a fresh revisioning of the settler/colonial gothic, with one foot in a magic realist lyric and the other in regionalist gritlit.” —Vela Magazine
