Title: great book, despite readers' bogus expectations
Review: i thought this was a wonderful book! beautiful prose, interesting characters, galloping plot. i comletely recommend it.but what really horrifies me as i read these reviews is how many people seem to assume that because lee is korean american he has some sort of duty to write about "the" korean-american experience. as if there were such a thing! i've heard other non-white authors complaining of the same thing: that their work is pigeon-holed as "xx-american" and held up as representative of all "xx-american" experience. what a ridiculous idea.and as for A Reader From New York's comment that the novel wasn't the revealing insight into Korean-American culture that s/he expected, as you seem not to have figured this one out yet, i must caution you against basing your expectations of reality on anything you read in "popular magazines".
