Minority Feelings
About This Novel
The National Book Critics Circle Award-winning work was shortlisted for the Pulitzer Prize. The author became Time's Person of the Year with this book. It is a deafening Asian voice and a tearful cry that stings prejudice. Always more diligent than those around them, yet always in depression; parents being scolded by white people like children; feeling ashamed for not being able to speak authentic English... Korean-American writer Cathy Parker Hong started from small incidents and deeply analyzed a series of emotions that Asian Americans feel every day, such as shame, paranoia, melancholy, self-doubt, etc., Calling them "minority feelings." These feelings reflect important issues such as the living conditions of Asian Americans, the myth of the model minority, personal political identity dilemmas and racial consciousness. Combining genres such as autobiography, essays and cultural criticism, it is a sharp criticism of contemporary American literature, contemporary art, Hollywood and social movements, subverting tradition and full of witticisms that make every page worth underlining.
