Penguin Books has added four books by Asian American authors to its Penguin Classics imprint of literature in honor of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month.
“And of course, ‘Crazy Rich Asians’ came out in theaters and that just spoke to our enthusiasm and reinforced our thinking that this is the right moment,” he added. Floyd Cheung, a professor of English language and literature and American studies at Smith College, wrote the afterword and notes for the Penguin Classics edition. He said his interest in Tsiang’s work stemmed from his desire to have more Asian American literature taught in schools and colleges.
Cheung noted that the 1930s were a period of “incredible activism,” and he’s glad that at least one Chinese American voice is represented from the time period. Chee, who is multiracial, said he was moved by a particular moment at the beginning of the book when Han has a brief encounter with a half Japanese, half Jewish boy while passing through Maine.
