About this title

Synopsis

Biographies of noted Asian Americans include portraits of actor Dustin Nguyen, novelist Amy Tan, business entrepreneur Rocky Aoki, artist Mine Okubo, and chef and TV host Martin Yan

From Booklist

Gr. 4-7. The fourth volume in a series of collective biographies of Asian Americans, this includes the life stories of actor Dustin Nguyen, novelist Amy Tan, business entrepeneur Rocky Aoki, artist Min{‚}e Okubo, and master chef and TV host Martin Yan. Some were born here of immigrant parents from China, Japan, and Vietnam; some are first-generation Americans. The individual stories are dramatic, candid, and personal. They are far from reverential. Businessman Aoki is frank (though unapologetic) about his violent acting out as a teenager and his driving view of success. Japanese artist Okubo talks as much about her bitter experience of internment here during World War II as about her success in her work. Fans of The Joy Luck Club will enjoy reading about Tan's youthful rebellion and her complex, changing relationship with her mother. The introductory writing is sometimes awkward, with a few "As You Read" questions that suggest classroom-directed study. There's no documentation, no indication of what comes from the interviews and what comes from other sources. Hazel Rochman
