Upcoming Events
ASIA Bookgroup - June, 2004
Details coming soon for our next bookgroup potluck. We'll be reading
Who's Irish: Stories
by local author Gish.
Nobody writes about the immigrant experience like Gish Jen. What sets her apart from other
ethnic writers is the wide-angle lens she turns not only on her own Chinese American ethnic group, but on
Jewish Americans, African Americans, Irish Americans, and just about any other hyphenate you'd care to name.
Though her tales are filtered through an Asian experience, they are, at heart, the quintessential American story of
immigration, assimilation, and occasional tensions with other ethnic communities.
