"Your world never ends how you think it will."

In this dazzling debut collection, essayist Mia Arias Tsang explores the complexity and torture of queer heartbreak with an urgency that will leave you breathless. Flash nonfiction, vignettes, and personal narrative combine to tell the almost-love stories of her young adulthood. From dusty university libraries and Boston-bound BoltBuses, to the glittering skyscrapers of New York City and the smoggy shores of Venice Beach, FRAGMENTS OF WASTED DEVOTION spans seven years of failing, losing, and finding oneself in love. Featuring original illustrations by Georgia-based artist Levi Wells.
