The Adopted Chinese Daughter's Rebellion
Single Story Taken From Better Living Through Plastic Explosives
Gartner is a deft practitioner of irony and stylishly detached prose, and here she is in top form in an unsparing satire. At once hilariously biting and deeply disturbing, “The Adopted Chinese Daughters’ Rebellion” is a savage exposé of unthinking privilege and middle-class blindness.
