All Our Ordinary Stories: A Multigenerational Family Odyssey by Teresa Wong. Arsenal Pulp, 2024. 9781551529493. 238pp.
Teresa Wong's graphic memoir starts with her visiting her mother in the hospital after her mother had a minor stroke. When her mother doesn't speak she fills the silence. When she has to translate for her mother, we get to experience the limited way Teresa can express herself in Cantonese. Wong then explains that she doesn't know the Cantonese words to help her mother, or the words to use to talk about feelings; it's heartbreaking, but also the perfect expression of her relationship with her parents. And the rest of the book is the story of that relationship, of growing up in Canada with her immigrant parents. It's the story of how they communicated and didn't, of how her parents fled China for Hong Kong and eventually settled in Calgary.
My favorite part is probably when Wong's mother brings home another "daughter," a young woman whom she worked with, and the way Wong tries to understand her mother. But the most heartbreaking thing about the book was the ongoing lack of compassion from her mom. It's amazing to me that she continued to try to reach across the divide that separates them, and that she is trying to tell their story.
Worth noting: if you pick up the book, watch how Wong changes the layouts of the pages. They're often basic grids, but they always serve the story, and when she needs to she'll suddenly use a different drawing style or a bunch of white space. It's perfect.
One of the most profound perspectives I have gained was the time I spent living in Hong Kong and traveling all over Asia. For the first time, as an American, I began to understand and experience directly what it truly feels like to be the “other” (though I have been the other in many aspect throughout my life). . In the end, even though I lived there but two years and never would have divined the outcome, Hong Kong is a place I dearly call “home.” And while I eventually lived a decent life there, it certainly was not a walled off and insulated “expat package” existence. It was, for who I was and am, genuine. . #Repost @onbeing ・・・ @poetrichardblanco’s work touches on the polarizing issue of immigration through the fullness of the human experience and the question: What is home? “Especially in our contemporary society, we’re all in exile. We all have immigrant experiences of some kind that weren’t happening, exactly, 100 years ago. You move from Miami to Seattle, you’re gonna have an immigrant experience,” he says. #onbeing #conversation #wisdom #immigrantexperience #richardblanco #poet #poetsofinstagram #humanity #society https://www.instagram.com/p/B5e8rCZjH4LG7V9641LdE0T7dWI0inTqpB_TKg0/?igshid=1j6unfn9gs7gu

Thanksgiving Goftagu!
Much of the Persian half of my family enjoy celebrating Thanksgiving with my parents and sisters, and we were fortunate to have around 20 guests in our home a couple weeks ago. We made more food than anyone could possibly finish. In this way, our Persian cultural hospitality practices combined with the traditional American Thanksgiving, leading to an amazing rendition of the holiday. One particularly special guest who visited us was my old Farsi teacher, Layla, who is also a distant relative. My sisters, cousins, and I learned from Layla when we last visited Iran ten years ago. I hardly recognized her, but as soon as we began talking, the memories came flooding back to me. I enjoyed my goftogu with her. She was excited to hear I had continued learning Farsi in college, and she stepped into her old role as a teacher as she corrected my sentences every now and then. I asked her about her current living situation, as she recently immigrated to Toronto from Iran. She met her husband there, and he also joined us at Thanksgiving. She described how she was incredibly happy to be in Toronto as it simply was not safe to be in Iran as a woman who wanted to enjoy unrestricted life. I asked if she would ever return to visit Iran, and she explained that she sadly cannot as there is a large possibility that she would not be able to leave the country once she returned. She explained that an Iranian friend of hers living in Canada had her passport confiscated when she went back to visit family. I was also surprised to learn about a uniquely immigrant emotion of “Happy sad,” where Layla is very happy to be living in a new country that allows her the freedom to live the life she has always wanted, but she is sad that her friends and family back in Iran are not able to experience these same living conditions.
