Synopsis

Paperback. Pub Date: 2002. Pages: 256 in Publisher: WW Norton & Co. As the Los Angeles Times noted in its profile of the author. Few writers have mined the [genre of ethnic literature] as shrewdly or transcended its limits quite so stunningly as Don Lee. Harking back to the timeless concerns of Chekhov: fate. chance. the mystery of the human heart (Stuart Dybek). these interconnected stories are utterly contemporary .... but grounded in the depth of beautiful prose and intriguing storylines (Asian Week). They paint a novelistic portrait of the fictional town of Rosarita Bay. California. and a diverse cast of complex and moving characters. Nothing short of wonderful ... surprising and wild with life (Robert Boswell). Yellow proves that wondering about whether you're a real American is as American as a big bowl of kimchi (New York Times Book Review).
