Reviews

A fascinating examination of the role of food, eating habits, and the culinary arts in Asian American literature. [Xu] begins this sophisticated, theoretically informed study with the proposition that eating shapes individual and collective identities. . . . Xu's prose is rich and layered, and her insights are profound.-- "Choice (45:9, May 2008)"
