* The Nation *Īll writers who play with form that have come since are indebted to Theresa Hak Kyung Cha, often without even knowing it. Dictee has spent decades as a cult classic, becoming a fixture of Asian American and feminist studies syllabi across the country. * Artforum *Ī resolutely avant-garde book. * Paris Review *Ī fringe classic for students of women's studies, book arts, and poetry. Too often, of course, the colonizing function of language goes about its invisible work without comment, but in Dictee each scene, each image, each poem or letter purposefully refers us back to it. * Village Voice *Ĭha made quiet work with a disquieting impact. Reads like a secret dossier, stuffed with epistles and pictures, religion, and dreams.
