520 |a "Nimrods is an experimental memoir of fatherhood across two generations, refracted through the lens of immigration, racism, and colonialism. Kawika Guillermo chronicles his difficult relationship to his white alcoholic religious father, the travails of growing up a mixed-race Filipinx punk rock kid, and his ambivalence about his own new fatherhood. Asian American literature has often focused on the relationship between mothers and daughters; Guillermo expands the field to fathers and sons. The story is narrated through fragmentary poetic shards and playfully experimental typography that denies narrative closure and resists making pronouncements about race in favor of exposing the thorny embodied difficulties and contradictions of being a racialized subject. Guillermo lays bare how the ugliness of empire and race play out in family dynamics, how these wounds are passed down from generation to generations, and how they are internalized in the author's own body, a body which he alternately attempts to love and discipline. Guillermo's shameless mixtures of autotheory, queer punk poetry, musical ekphrasis, hai bun, academic (mis)quotations, and bad Dad jokes, present a bold new take on the autobiography"--  |c Provided by publisher.
