Hot Fruit (en Inglés) - Erinrose Mager

Hallucinatory, evocative, and surreal in its own idiosyncratic way, Hot Fruit is Erinrose Mager’s long-awaited debut volume.

Strange and incantatory, Erinrose Mager’s debut collection Hot Fruit investigates the longing for self, the longing for another, and the longing for connection between the self and another when the other is inherently unknowable. The pieces in this collection constellate sensations of familial loss and longing, class and financial precarity, culinary ritual, fractured memory, and the peculiarity of placelessness, interspersed with a fable cycle that reimagines Korean myths, legends, and contemporary media through the lens of the adoptee experience.
