Jane Austen & Co. presented “Sansei & Sensibility” by Karen Tei Yamashita. “Generations of Japanese Americans merge with Jane Austen‘s characters in these lovely stories, pairing uniquely American histories with reimagined classics.” (Coffee House Press) #janeaustenandcompany #karenteiyamashita #sanseiandsensibility #booksbrewsandbooze
Time for a readathon with @Andrew65 #AwesomeAugust hopefully will get me finishing some books I‘ve been a bit stuck this month as I‘ve been out a bit more and not finishing as many books as usual. Hoping to finish my current reads: Sansei and Sensibility, One Dark and Stormy Knight, The Lost Apothecary, Wings of Fire, Tweet Cute and The Dreadful Tale of Prosper Redding.
As I consider our shared history it becomes more and more glaring to recognize the history of oppression from the old west to Japanese Internment to Vietnamese Immigration, and countless other impacts on this culture never considered in my education. So here is an article: https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/books/g35885208/asian-american-books/
Anyone want to share books they loved or are on their TBR to support growing engagement in this group
Just read the Sense & Sensibility short story adaptation from Pt II of this collection just published by Karen Tei Yamashita. I‘m not sure what I just read. 🤣🤣 That was...interesting!
Reads like fan fic, and kind of hilarious, but with a few moments of social commentary if you stop and think (Lucy is described as a hapa girl, and that is the reason she is rejected by “Eddie‘s” family).
#PemberLittens this was a quick 10 min read on Hoopla!
Why not add a collection of short stories to the four books I already have in progress. Apparently finishing books right now is not happening for me. 🤷♀️
