Abstract
"A powerful exploration of the Asian American experience. Hunger weaves the forces of war and magic, food and desire, ghosts and family into poignant tales of love and loss. Celebrated author Lan Samantha Chang illuminates the lives of first-generation immigrants from China, culturally and emotionally uprooted from their homeland, who mistrust connection even as they hunger for attachment--and shows how their choices shape their children. The characters who inhabit this extraordinary collection, "a work of gorgeous enduring prose" (Helen C. Wan, Washington Post), are caught between the burden of their past and the fragility of their uncharted future." -page [4] of cover.
