Description

The first section is about an aunt who was driven to suicide after having a baby with a man who was not her husband. The author surmises that she probably became pregnant through rape. There is recitation of a racist story that Japanese people were created when an ape raped a Chinese princes, "who then fled to the Eastern islands to have the first Japanese child." In the final section, the author recounts being stalked by someone who she was not sure if he was an adult or her age (a teenager). He would show up at her school and at her family's laundromat. She also discusses getting harassing phone calls when her parents were out of the house.
