What queer Asian sci fi authors would you recommend?

Yeah, to put my money where my mouth is, here are some queer SFF writers from Asia and the Asian Diaspora in the Anglosphere that I really like and highly recommend:

Nghi Vo: probably doesn’t need an endorsement from me, hah, her The Empress of Salt and Fortune is one of the most perfect novellas I’ve ever read and well deserved its Hugo win. The whole Singing Hills cycle is great. It’s a fantasy world strongly inspired by Imperial China and Vietnam, and does clever things with fantasy, folklore, storytelling, and memory. Her novels are standalone historical fantasy set in 1920s-America-with-magic and are very much about Asian immigrant/diaspora experiences in the early 20th century US. With Magic.

Yoon Ha Lee: I love his Machineries of Empire. Would love to finish that trilogy someday. But seriously it’s creative, intense military sci-fi in a magic-science space empire and is very interested in what it takes to uphold such a system.

Simon Jimenez: The Vanished Birds is sooo heartbreakingly good and I need to read A Spear Cuts Through Water soon.

Isabel J. Kim: Short story writer. Runs the gamut of sci-fi, fantasy, horror, and the weird stuff in between. Creative and vivid in really compelling ways. Her first novel is in the works and I am SUPER interested. She does funky and creative things with perspective and structure in her stories. Has several stories now that are about turning popular tropes or other iconic stories around like they’re in a kaleidoscope, but her first published story “Homecoming Is Just Another Word for the Sublimation of the Self” is probably still the most affecting to me.

Michelle Kan: Has a trilogy of novelettes called Tales of the Thread, self-described as “aromantic Chinese fairytales” that take a deliberately aro approach to fairytale retellings and fairytale style fantasy. I recommend them. (Also has a superhero novel I haven’t read.)

Haven’t read yet but they are on my TBR:

Aliette de Bodard: Her Xuya universe novellas, and the relationships between humans and AIs and spaceships, sound super up my alley.

Kai Cheng Thom: Author of Fierce Femmes and Notorious Liars: A Dangerous Trans Girl’s Confabulous Memoir is a less traditionally sff entry but is a fabulist/surrealist take on the Trans Memoir… which I feel like I have to be in the right space for, but I do want to read it.

———

Also he’s not out as queer or anything but I can’t not recommend Ted Chiang because he writes some of the best short stories In The World and has THE most interesting and unique and compelling ideas.

———

There are also so many more authors out there I don’t know and haven’t read! But! Someday!!

Jayne Mansfield, photographed at her home in 1956 by the renowned photographer Lou Jacobs Jr., encapsulates the glamour, charm, and allure of one of Hollywood’s most iconic bombshells of the mid-20th century. By this time, Mansfield was rapidly rising to fame, establishing herself as a major star with roles in films like The Girl Can’t Help It (1956). This particular photo session at her famed “Pink Palace,” located in Beverly Hills, showcased not just her stunning beauty but also her carefully crafted public persona. The Pink Palace itself became a symbol of Mansfield’s larger-than-life image, with its pink exterior, heart-shaped swimming pool, and whimsical decor reflecting her playful and glamorous approach to stardom. Jacobs’ photographs captured Mansfield in intimate yet theatrical moments, blending elements of her everyday life with the Hollywood spectacle that defined her. These images offered fans a rare glimpse into the personal world of a star who knew how to command attention both on and off the screen.

The year 1956 was pivotal for Jayne Mansfield as she transitioned from a Broadway sensation in Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter? to a bona fide Hollywood leading lady. Her breakout role in The Girl Can’t Help It, directed by Frank Tashlin, showcased her comedic timing and undeniable screen presence, earning her comparisons to Marilyn Monroe while solidifying her unique identity as a symbol and performer. Lou Jacobs Jr.’s photographs from this time emphasized Mansfield’s multifaceted appeal. They portrayed her not just as a glamorous figure but also as a dedicated mother and homemaker, often including her young daughter, Jayne Marie, in the frame. This duality of her public image—balancing domesticity with her over-the-top persona—resonated deeply with her audience. The session highlighted Mansfield’s innate understanding of the power of media and self-presentation, as she skillfully used her home and personality to enhance her celebrity brand. Jacobs’ abili
