Oscar yi Hou focuses on the expansive work and writings of Oscar yi Hou, melding critical theory, political critique, poetry, and memoir. With contributions from Simon Wu, Xin Wang, and Kate Wong, as well as a conversation between yi Hou and Amanda Ba. Weaving together a meditation on language, relation, and identity, the second half of the book presents a series of chapters of yi Hou's writing published here for the first time.

The editioned publication features new writing and poetry from the artist, alongside texts by Juliana Huxtable, Jesús Hilario-Reyes, hannah baer, John Arthur Peetz, and Kay Gabriel.
