Read a short story by C Pam Zhang

C Pam Zhang garnered much critical attention for her debut novel, How Much of These Hills is Gold.

If you were among the readers who agreed with the attention given to it — or if you love both Prep by Curtis Sittenfeld and psychological thrillers — then we have good news for you: you can read a new short story from her, about a teen girl who's able to attend a prestigious school because her father is the janitor there, yet who is constantly aware of herself as different.

You can read Zhang’s “Little Beast” in the online edition of BOMB magazine.
