'...student researchers will appreciate the abundant attention accorded notables such as Maxine Hong Kingston, Amy Tan, Chang-rae Lee, Jessica Hagedorn, Jhumpa Lahiri, and others. There are helpful, individual, hyphenated-ethnic literary group assessments, including an informative study of Asian Canadian literature by Donald Goellnicht and Eleanor Ty. Mark Chiang’s “Cultural Capital,” one of the strongest essays, considers the embrace of successful authors such as Lahiri and Lee by mainstream American fiction readers and the prickly range of criticism in turn.'
