In the pre-PC era Midwest, where the devoutly Christian blond-haired, blue-eyed Jennifers and Tiffanys reign supreme, Nguyens barely conscious desire to belong transmutes into a passion for American food. More exotic seeming than her Buddhist grandmothers traditional specialties spring rolls, delicate pancakes stuffed with meats, fried shrimp cakes, the campy, preservative-filled delicacies of mainstream America capture her imagination. And in this remarkable book, the glossy branded allure of such American foods as Pringles, Kit Kats, and Toll House cookies become an ingenious metaphor for her struggle to fit in, to become a real merican. Beginning with Nguyen's family's harrowing migration from Saigon in 1975, Stealing Buddha's Dinner is nostalgic and candid, deeply satisfying and minutely observed, and stands as a unique vision of the immigrant experience and a lyrical ode to how identity is often shaped by the things we long for. ; Bich Minh Nguyen (pronounced /Bit Min New-win/) teaches creative writing at Purdue University. Stealing Buddha's Dinner is her first book. ; FINE/FINE. Book.
