Who's Irish?: Stories by Gish Jen
4.0
I only recently learned of Gish Jen and her work and am absolutely mesmerized. These stories follow the lives of different Asian-Americans—snapshots of an America that I think is much more deserving of representation in popular culture. The first story, “Who’s Irish?” is told from the perspective of a Chinese grandmother who tells a story about her half-Irish granddaughter.
In another story called “Duncan in China,” we follow a Chinese-American who travels to China to reconnect with his heritage and teach English—the story is amazing!
It’s such a great collection that I know I will be returning to these stories again.
