This groundbreaking memoir offers a glimpse into an activist's journey to finding and cultivating community and the continued fight for disability justice, from the founder and director of the Disability Visibility Project

In Chinese culture, the tiger is deeply revered for its confidence, passion, ambition, and ferocity. That same fighting spirit resides in Alice Wong.

Drawing on a collection of original essays, previously published work, conversations, graphics, photos, commissioned art by disabled and Asian American artists, and more, Alice uses her unique talent to share an impressionistic scrapbook of her life as an Asian American disabled activist, community organizer, media maker, and dreamer. From her love of food and pop culture to her unwavering commitment to dismantling systemic ableism, Alice shares her thoughts on creativity, access, power, care, the pandemic, mortality, and the future. As a self-described disabled oracle, Alice traces her origins, tells her story, and creates a space for disabled people to be in conversation with one another and the world. Filled with incisive wit, joy, and rage, Wong’s Year of the Tiger will galvanize listeners with big cat energy.

* This audiobook includes a downloadable PDF containing photographs, illustrations and a crossword puzzle from the printed book.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Alice Wong is a wonderful writer and this book had an amazing impact in our book club. The narration by Nancy Wu was noteworthy as well. Thank you!

Fantastic book

A new pet peeve I discovered from listening to this audiobook: I hate it when "2021" is pronounced "two thousand twenty-one", when colloquially, it should be pronounced "twenty twenty-one". The more I heard it, the more annoyed I felt... and alas, there were SO many dates from 2021. Definitely an unexpected distraction from the listening experience.

Also, just generally, I didn't find this particular narrator to be a great fit for a memoir or work of nonfiction, even though I've enjoyed her fiction narrations.

story is fine, but narration was... not great

A must read. There’s so much in this book. I appreciate Alice’s openness, strength, and the sense of humor that made this book such a valuable read.

Suck it, ableism!
