Title: Frank Chin, the bitter broken record
Review: I read this book because I liked Donald Duk, which was required for one of my literature classes. This book here recycled everything from Donald Duk. But instead of focusing on the valid discourse surrounding the ethnic appropriation of history, he bashes other writers such as Maxine Hong Kingston (using tired arguments - right or not, we already get it!) and tells people explicitly what what he thinks is crap or not in writing, but based only on a paranoid fear of being a stereotypical, effeminate Chinese. I did not enjoy reading it, but no one who does can be left with any doubts as to where Frank Chin stands. Which would be no problem if he either had said something new or had said expanded upon his previous valid ideas. This book is simply a rant, and undermines his previous work. Please read Donald Duk instead.
