A review by nuhafariha
Native Speaker by Chang-rae Lee

3.0

I loved Chang-Rae Lee's prosaic writing style with its dense contemplations on what it means to be an immigrant in America, what it means to truly try to assimilate into a hostile culture and what the process ends up costing the immigrant. It reminded me a lot of Lahiri's The Namesake plus a little bit of political conspiracy and spy action. However, the ending was abrupt and disarming, a little too convenient.
