White Pearl by Anchuli Felicia King

adventurous challenging dark funny fast-paced

5.0

A LITERAL MASTERCLASS IN PLAYWRIGHTING!!! Anchuli Felicia King's use of language is masterful, muscular and economic. Not a single word or moment passes without a sting. Slicing right into the action with Clearday amidst a digital crisis, gone global - we are taken on a high stakes, thrilling, unpredictable ride. White Pearl is well-researched, and deeply interrogates a pan-Asian perspective on race, class, education and morality. Well this and so much more. Start up culture, global relations, the digital world, ideas of success, the dominance of the West, the sheer broadness of 'Asia' and what it means to live and exist as an 'Asian' woman. White Pearl is PURE EXCELLENCE.
