Calls of the void or, L’Appel du Vde, by Void Yuen is a collection of writing that challenges expectation of “what it is like to have Death be a person.” An immersive and defiant contemplation for his audience, it transcends the traditional boundaries previously claimed within the field of literary writing surrounding the concepts of death. Through confessional, personable prose, Yuen deftly navigates a surrealist mindset that explores Death as a character, a construct, and a dependable companion. This reflective blend of Yuen’s experience as a queer Asian American individual grappling with a persistent image of death and learning to live with an inescapable personification of his own mortality demands that readers interrogate their own preconceived notions of death.
