ALT PIECE OF ME R.O. Kwon’s Jade Rings The rings, passed down by her mother, remind the author of the connection she has to her ancestors. Her first novel, “The Incendiaries,” tackled religion, while her second, “Exhibit,” out last month, is about hidden desire. She wanted to write a book “centering desire, including queer desire and kinky desire,” she said, because in the past, she has felt “desperately alone in wanting as I do.” Photos of a Korean woman with her chin resting ln the backs of her fingers; photo of two hands held out with jade rings in a palm
