A review by sanjeevp
Big Little Man: In Search of My Asian Self by Alex Tizon

5.0

Alex Tizon has a written a very engaging book about young Asian immigrants growing up in America. His inferiority complex about the physical attributes of Asian boys and men and the lack of response from white women lasts until he begins to see the strengths of Asian men. After his divorce from his first wife, who is white he finds happiness and lasting marriage with his second wife of Filipino origin.

His fact finding trips to Philippines and China and research into the little known historical facts history of those countries was illuminating.

Alex Tizon’s Pulitzer is well earned. Every Asian boy or man in America should read this book.
