one long listening

In this heartfelt memoir, author Chenxing Han explores themes of grief, loss, and renewal through her personal journey as an immigrant, novice chaplain, and friend facing life's inevitable challenges. Spanning three autumns of her life across diverse settings—from Taiwan to Ireland to Cambodia—she offers profound reflections on the human condition, connecting stories of sorrow with moments of brightness. Through her poetic, multilingual prose, Han invites readers to contemplate the depths of vulnerability, the importance of enduring connection, and what it truly means to be present in our shared lives.
