Product Description
From cuisine and martial arts to sex and self-esteem,
East Eats West shines new light on the bridges and crossroads where two hemispheres meld into one worldwide “immigrant nation.” In this new nation, with its amalgamation of divergent ideas, tastes, and styles, today's bold fusion becomes tomorrow's classic. But while the space between East and West continues to shrink in this age of globalization, some cultural gaps remain. In this collection of twenty-one personal essays, Andrew Lam, the award-winning author of
Perfume Dreams, continues to explore the Vietnamese diaspora, this time concentrating not only on how the East and West have changed but how they are changing each other. Lively and engaging,
East Eats West searches for meaning in nebulous territory charted by very few. Part memoir, part meditation, and part cultural anthropology,
East Eats West is about thriving in the West with one foot still in the East.
