Past ASIA Event:
ASIA Bookgroup discusses Who's Irish? : Stories by Gish Jen - Jan. 2, 2005 Join ASIA's bookgroup for a potluck brunch & discussion of local author Gish Jen's Who's Irish? : Stories. 11am in Jamaica Plain hosted by Joanna Kao. RSVP to ASIA Books and we'll send you directions. 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. To join the bookgroup, to request a reading list, or to get directions to the potluck, contact the Bookgroup.
