Moving Westfrom Singapore to America, from New York to Californiaa woman examines the myth of finding home even as she comes to terms with its impossibilities. When Trisha Low moves West, her journey is motivated by the need to arrive somewhere bettersomeplace utopian, like revolution; or safe, like home; or even clarifying, like identity. Instead, she faces the end of her relationships, a family whose values she has difficulty sharing, and America's casual racism, sexism, and homophobia. In this book-length essay, the problem of how to account for one's life comes to the foresliding unpredictably between memory, speculation, self-criticism, and art criticism, Low seeks answers that she knows she won't find.
