Marilyn is a book written by Filipino-American author Amanda Ngoho Reavey. It is her first novel, centering around the immigrant and Asian-American identity.
Reavey's creation is a multi-media project with poetry, photographs, visual media, and writing to encapsulate the entirety of not only the Asian-American experience, but the human experience. Using her experiences living in six different countries, Reavey stitches together a beautiful story of love, loss, and recovery.
Marilyn was critically well-received. In 2017, it won the Association for Asian-American Studies Award for Best Book of Creative Writing, as well as the Best Book Award in Poetry.
