Bibliography
Recognition
Mehta's work has been reviewed in many publications, including the Iowa Review,[6] Fiction Writers Review,[7] Lambda Literary Review,[8] Time Out,[9] and Booklist.[10] Brian Leung said of Mehta's short story collection, "Quarantine marks a turning of a corner, a representative flashpoint, at least, for LGBT and Asian-American writers who have felt obligated to center their creative work around savory dishes, coming out, the exotic customs of intervening relatives, protest, all the expected signifiers." Leung concludes, "Mehta's stories acknowledge that we can occupy more than one subject position."[11] V. Jo Hsu writes that Mehta "artfully interweaves sexual and racial tensions without creating an antagonistic "other."[12]
