A review by msand3
No-No Boy by John Okada

3.0

3.5 stars. An important novel that stands as the herald of Asian American literature in the twentieth century, and also one that is relevant today due to the immoral and legally dubious immigrant camps currently scattered throughout the United States. Although not discussed in the Penguin introduction, I imagine it also resonated with those of the Vietnam era when it was first re-published and “re-discovered” in the 1970s. Well worth a read for those reasons alone.
