Splendid and useful anthology, tastefully deployed
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
This is a splendid and useful anthology, tastefully deployed and edited with historical range, literary verve, and critical care. The generational waves and generic diversity of Korean American writing is captured in a way that leaves the future open to a range of forms and possibilities that can draw upon everything from the ur-realism of Ty Pak to the transcendental deconstructions of Theresa Hak Kyung Cha.
