i don't read many non-fiction books, but i'm so glad i picked this one up. while i was vaguely aware of the troubles asian-americans had to face, cathy brought so many details and often overlooked experiences to the forefront in such a way that one can't ignore it. will be re-reading and looking for other books by her.

Hong is an amazing writer, you are taken into the worlds she creates in her essays fully. With dark and powerful themes this book leaves you ready to listen and listen until either you can’t anymore because you have to do something else or because it has ended. Hong’s writing, above all, is brutally honest. It’s clear that unless she had to (due to the wishes of friends) she was completely and utterly truthful. It is now one of my favorite autobiographical works. Yet, I wish we knew more about certain individuals, and stories.
I wanted to know more about her friend from college, her family, and her immediate post-grad experience, but I also recognize I’m being greedy. When you read something this good, that tends to happen.
