Title: Not just wispy, but pathetic
Review: Although I do not mean to underestimate the pain of a Chinese youth losing his home in Laos, the author does not seem to realize how comparatively lucky he was (or he and his character were) to have a (Chinese) network in Thailand to help get out and get restarted. Ethnical Laotians suffered more than unexpressed desires! Still, he writes effectively about some of the Pathet Lao depredations of the family business and disruption of education.The fantasy of the Laotian American is puerile in the worst sense and the attempt to do a Southeast Asian _Like Water for Chocolate_ fails.Writing about a wimp doesn't have to be wimpy!
