A Rare Intelligent Look into the Cross-Cultural World

The works that deal seriously with the cross-cultural world of the Asian and American expcerience are few in number. One think so David Louie's "The Barbarians are Coming", Aimee Liu's work belongs with the best of this important literary adventure. If you want an honest, direct, and powerful work that will explore this collisions of cultures by someone who has enjoyed/suffered/endured being in the crossfire of prejudice, then buy this book and open your eyes. Ideal for second and third generationers, but should be read by open minded first generationers. We hope she stays with fiction and doesn't move too much to the self-help catagory of books due to lack of intelligent responses to her work. The review below is a good example. Someone wrote a response to their book order as a review of the book. Ignore their foolishness; buy and read this book.
