ambercchen's review against another edition

dark emotional sad slow-paced

4.75

i wish more asian american diaspora writing was like this novel bc this is what it’s all about!!! the nothingness, the immigrant parent/american child dynamic, the double consciousness!!!!!! okada’s descriptions get lost in itself and emi’s characterization isn’t the best but by god this novel is good
