Patrick Radden Keefe is has quickly become one of my favourite nonfiction writers. Like any good one, he always situates the specific instance he writes about within the larger narrative and makes it clear just why this story is important. Although this one wasn't my favourite of his (to be fair, I've rated two of his books 5 stars), it was a worthwhile read and I learned a great deal about this specific incident and broader experiences of Chinese Americans.

having read most of his bibliography, this is definitely my least favorite patrick radden keefe books. and yet, it's still really good lol. his writing is terrific, and his understanding of structure and pacing are unmatched in narrative nonfiction. worth a read!

Well-researched, well-written but just didn’t hold my interest the way his other books have.
