Sommario/riassunto |
|
"In styles ranging from naturalism to high-camp parody, Leong goes beneath stereotypes of immigrant and American-born Chinese, hustlers and academics, Buddhist priests and street people. Displacement and marginalization - and the search for love and liberation - are persistent themes. Leong's people are set apart, by sexuality, by war by AIDS, by family dislocations."--BOOK JACKET. |
