Night Shift in Perfect English: Winner of the 2024 Two Languages Book Prize

By Mina Khan

2024 Winner of the Two Languages Book Award. Mina Khan's debut collection Night Shift in Perfect English is a tender, album-like retelling of the immigrant family post-American Dream. Drawing upon her Korean-Pakistani heritage, Khan discusses the NYC bodega in a gentrifying neighborhood, the aging body, and a rapidly deteriorating climate; Everyday violences-and the vivid joys that persevere. Mingling ghost-like family photo album with poems and fragments of a screenplay, this collection echoes history, memory, and coming-of-age in layers.
