Description:  xxxviii, 389 pages ; 20 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  "Having fled Japanese-occupied Korea for the gleaming promise of the United States with nothing but four dollars and a suitcase full of Shakespeare to his name, the young, idealistic Chungpa Han arrives in a New York teeming with expatriates, businessmen, students, scholars, and indigents. Struggling to support his studies, he travels throughout the United States and Canada, becoming by turns a traveling salesman, a domestic worker, and a farmer, and observing along the way the idealism, greed, and shifting values of the industrializing twentieth century. Part picaresque adventure, part shrewd social commentary, East Goes West casts a sharply satirical eye on the demands and perils of assimilation. It is a masterpiece not only of Asian American literature but also of American literature"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Adult Fiction Kang   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Fiction Kang   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library Adult Fiction Kang   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Fiction Kang pbk Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Fiction Kang   Checked out 06/01/2024 Add Copy to MyList
