A Universal Talent

Diana Chang is a talented novelist and poet. Her other novels are unfortunately out of print and should be released again. Ms. Chang is featured in several Asian-American anthologies, but it isn't fair to just categorize her in this way. Her work is universal and doesn't just speak to Asians or Asian-Americans or Eurasians. I definitely recommend this book, as well as her novel 'Eye for Eye', and her collections of poetry.
