Review by Jessica Drake Thomas "This Week, I Read Zoë Luh: [and time erodes like thunder]. "This book is a moving portrait of a woman who has walked through the fire and come out on the other side, still whole."
[And Time Erodes Like Thunder] featured in [clmp]'s "A Reading List for Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month 2021"
[And Time Erodes Like Thunder] featured in [clmp]'s "A Reading List for Disability Pride Month 2022"
“In Between Spaces is filled with unbridled vulnerability, searing empathy, and a sense of far-reaching hope. But more than anything, this is an anthology pierced through with beauty. I was left in tears of sadness and hope."
–Tod Goldberg, New York Times bestselling author of Gangsterland, Gangster Nation, and The Low Desert: Gangster Stories
Review by the Manhattan Book Project. "If you enjoyed other popular books by disabled authors like Disability Visibility edited by Alice Wong, Sitting Pretty by Rebekah Taussig, or The Collected Schizophrenias by Esme Weijun Wang, or if you’re simply looking to diversify your TBR list, then this is the anthology for you."
"Obies Write For Themselves, On Their Own Time" by Juanita Alabi in The Oberlin Review.
