Little Bowl is a short story written by Qiwen Guang, and translated by Qianfan Gu. In the story, libraries in memory and imagination serve both as backdrops and companions for the diasporic protagonist. And it is within the linguistically diverse collections of the Queens Public Library that the two librarians—a mother and daughter, find solace, belonging, and deeper understanding of each other. Little Bowl is the inaugural issue of Queens Things.
