Synopsis

Identity and belonging are just two of the many themes Asian-American writers have explored. This new edition in the ""Bloom's Modern Critical Views"" series offers fresh critical evaluations of this important body of American literature. Canonical writers such as Maxine Hong Kingston and Amy Tan are discussed in addition to the voices and traditions that have emerged from the United States' diverse South and East Asian communities. This volume is complemented by a chronology, a bibliography, notes on the contributors, and an introductory essay from master scholar Harold Bloom.

About this title

Review:

"A publishing venture almost without precedent both in its scope and in the fact that it is guided by a single critical intelligence."

"The accounts offer students an opportunity to absorb serious analytical styles."

"Harold Bloom adds some fantastic critical literary guides, providing interpretations and issues that should reach a wide audience from adults to young adults at the high school and college levels."
