Three young Asian-American girls go on a crime spree, make friends, do drugs and more-or-less by accident kill a few people. Set against a dystopian landscape of the American midwest, Safe As Milk is a coming of age story about identity, alienation, assimilation and Americanization that speaks to the divisions between cultures and between kids and adults, but what makes it special is the brilliantly perceived world throughout.
Something Like That, an excerpt from the novel-in-progress was first published in the Santa Monica Review.
