Synopsis
In her fiction debut, poet Marilyn Chin presents a series of outrageous vignettes detailing the American adventures of a rambunctious pair of Chinese-American twin sisters. Moonie and Mei Ling are ready and willing to embrace the carefree culture of their adopted homeland, but their feisty grandmother is quick to remind them of their Chinese heritage, even if it means brutally pummeling a helpless fish to get her point across. The sisters face forms of subjugation their ancestors never dreamed of, such as being forced to deliver Americanized Chinese food for their family's restaurant, but as they blossom into young adulthood, the girls discover that being the object of a fetish can create some interesting opportunities in life. Most of Chin's forty self-contained chapters reference traditional Chinese stories, legends, or parables, as she brilliantly demonstrates how ancient wisdom remains relevant to the contemporary world.
