Country of Origin, by Don Lee

A page-turner by the former editor of Ploughshares and author of Yellow. A detective novel that delves into identity issues, setting us in various historical periods via headline news paragraphs. Gorgeous women and gorgeous men are always getting involved, having affairs, screwing all the time, graphically. Strongly woven plot and clearly, cleanly written reveals a lot of research into Tokyo's sex industry.

Yellow: Stories, by Don Lee

So. Cal. contemporary interlinked stories. Good storytelling, even-handed prose, familiar Korean American racial themes, and struggles of Asian American singles in modern life.
