A radiant book,
By
This review is from: Radiant Silhouette: New and Selected Work, 1974-1988 (Hardcover)
This book is a classic of postmodernism and one of the great books in Asian American literary tradition. It includes poetry and prose, and it mixes language play with memoir. It specializes in feelings of non-belonging and in the sensation of surprise. Take a look at such texts as "Chinese Villanelle," "Toy Trucks and Fried Rice," "The Telephone Call," "Avenue of the Americas," "Cenotaph," "Red Fountain," and "Engines of Gloom and Affection." Such texts haunt you. They're hard to absorb and hard to let go. When starting any new poem, you have the uneasy sense that it might be a masterpiece.
