Book Hero Magic crafted this summary to help describe this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Summary
Ghost Of is a poignant mourning song rather than an attempt to exorcise or un-haunt the past. Diana Khoi Nguyen engages in an attentive reaching across time and space towards loved ones, ancestors, and strangers. The book revolves around photographs left by her late brother, from which he had cut himself out before his death, exploring themes of memory, absence, and the spaces that remain within family and history.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Ghost Of is a mourning song, not an exorcism or un-haunting of that which haunts, but attuned attention, unidirectional reaching across time, space, and distance to reach loved ones, ancestors, and strangers.

By working with, in, and around the photographs that her brother left behind (from which he cut himself out before his death), Nguyen wrestles with what remains: memory, physical voids, and her family captured around an empty space.
