This Reader, edited and introduced by noted art historian and critic Gilda Williams, gathers the key critical writings across the artist's essential works as explored through the lens of art history, post-colonial theory, film analysis, and more. Catalogue essays and exhibition reviews on individual works are set alongside Tan's own substantial body of writing: essays, letters, scripts, project notes, as well as discussions of other -artists' work, from Chantal Akerman to Jeff Wall.
