Grappling awkwardly with her newness, she struggles to figure out what is expected of her in life and at work. Is it acceptable to introduce swear words into the English curriculum, enlist students to write their own report cards, or bring up personal experiences while teaching a sex-education class? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSarah Shun-lien Bynum finds characters at their most vulnerable, then explores those precarious moments in sharp, graceful prose.
