Review: 'Afterparties,' By Anthony Veasna So : NPR
“Superking Son Scores Again” appeared in the literary magazine n+1. Narrated in the first-person plural by “the young men of this Cambo hood,” it is about a grocery store owner who moonlights as a high school coach — “a regular Magic Johnson of badminton”
Ann Levin

“The story “Superking Son Scores Again” compresses a host of generational divides into a taut, funny story about a high school badminton team”
