American Born Chinese - Gene Luen Yang - ★

AUTHOR: Gene Luen Yang
ILLUSTRATOR: Lark Pien
GENRE: Graphic Novel
PUBLICATION DATE: September 5, 2006
RATING: 1 star.
Three storylines that do come together neatly at the end. And yet, the depiction in one of the storylines seemed so racist! I tried hard to look at the broader picture but couldn't find any reason to justify such a horrid depiction of the Chinese character.
Didn't leave any positive impact on me. I was hoping for a more personal narrative; this was just a comic tragedy (or tragic comedy?) of epic proportions.
