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

1.0

It's probably a 2/5 but I honestly hated this book so much I couldn't do it. There's obviously a commendable bravery in sharing his personal and clearly emotional experience of growing up as an Asian man in America. However, the undertone throughout the entire story was one of extreme and sexist entitlement. As an Asian American woman, I found the way he talked about Asian American women to be short-sighted and despicable. As if the woes he encountered as an Asian male in this society aren't the very same that affect Asian women.
