2.0 out of 5 stars A mediocre academic study, May 3, 2009
By 
Phil Lee (Minneapolis, Minn, Silicon Tundra, USA) - See all my reviews
This is an academic book on the comparison and contrast of various authors in the body of Asian literature written in English, including an "update" to include Vietnam era authors. Probably like her PhD thesis (1957- , MA SJSU, PhD UC-Santa Cruz, Asst Prof Engl CalST-Stanislaus).

As opposed to the description in her Preface on her student's essays, she doesn't really include analysis and prose of Vietnamese-Amer authors. This is disappointing considering the title of her book. However at age 52, she could be an Editor for a future project to create an anthology and reader of Vietnamese fiction and memoir on non-fictional short story authors.

On p. xiii, she does say she wants to learn the Vietnamese language to improve her translating ability.
