Although Chin doesn’t exactly follow standard structure, Revenge of the Mooncake Vixen is a collection of stories that are loosely tied together. In fact, some are not tied together at all. When I had workshop with her, she explained that sometimes in the literary industry, you need to just slap a label on your book in order for it sell, so that’s what she did.

Other stories that dip into mythology and folklore also showcase Chin’s talent and zaniness.
