This short story collection is really interesting, and focuses on the Chinese American experience in a way that I haven't seen done before. There are several stories in this collection which have a woman or girl MC whose father is Chinese and mother is white, and it was refreshing to see issues that come from being mixed race in that way. I also really appreciated the variety in this collection: while most of the stories are contemporary character studies, a couple felt historical, one was definitely set in the future, and the narrators—though all related to the Chinese diaspora in some way—had definite variations among them, as well.

HTML: A short story collection exploring cultural complexities in China, the Chinese diaspora in America, and the world at large. In a vibrant and illuminating follow-up to her award-winning story collection, Useful Phrases for Immigrants, May-lee Chai's latest collection Tomorrow in Shanghai explores multicultural complexities through lenses of class, wealth, age, gender, and sexuality—always tracking the nuanced, knotty, and intricate exchanges of interpersonal and institutional power. These stories transport the reader, variously: to rural China, where a city doctor harvests organs to fund a wedding and a future for his family; on a vacation to France, where a white mother and her biracial daughter cannot escape their fraught relationship; inside the unexpected romance of two Chinese-American women living abroad in China; and finally, to a future Chinese colony on Mars, where an aging working-class woman lands a job as a nanny. Chai's stories are essential reading for an increasingly globalized world. .Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
