Discuss Orphan Bachelors by Fae Myenne Ng. This deeply personal and richly observed memoir explores Ng’s childhood in San Francisco’s Chinatown, where the lives of men shaped by exclusion laws intersected with her family’s story. Blending family history, social commentary and cultural insight, the book examines immigration, belonging and the legacies of policies that shaped generations. A thoughtful and moving read that raises questions about identity, resilience and the costs of exclusion.
