What if the love that teaches you how to feel belongs to someone you met sixty years before you were born?
Virak is thirty-two, Cambodian-American, gay, and adrift-haunting his own life in Oakland while his parents' silence about the Khmer Rouge keeps an entire identity just out of reach. When he begins learning classical Apsara dance at a local temple, hoping to reclaim the culture his trauma-scarred family couldn't give him, he's pulled across time into a Cambodia on the edge of catastrophe. There, he finds belonging, community, and a love more consuming than anything he's ever known-one that will change him permanently, whatever the cost.
Tenderly funny, devastating, and deeply moving, The Dancer's Shadow is a novel about diaspora and longing, about the silence between immigrant generations, and about the radical act of insisting that queer lives have always existed-even when no one wrote them down.
