Description : As a Vietnamese girl coming of age in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Nguyen is filled with a rapacious hunger for American identity, and in the pre-PC-era Midwest (where the Jennifers and Tiffanys reign supreme), the desire to belong transmutes into a passion for American food. More exotic- seeming than her Buddhist grandmother's traditional specialties, the campy, preservative-filled "delicacies" of mainstream America capture her imagination. In Stealing Buddha's Dinner, the glossy branded allure of Pringles, Kit Kats, and Toll House Cookies becomes an ingenious metaphor for Nguyen's struggle to become a "real" American, a distinction that brings with it the dream of the perfect school lunch, burgers and Jell- O for dinner, and a visit from the Kool-Aid man. Vivid and viscerally powerful, this remarkable memoir about growing up in the 1980's introduces an original new literary voice and an entirely new spin on the classic assimilation story.

A classic story of assimilation. A story of Vietnamese learning to adjust to Western culture and living. The story is narrated in the first person and that is interesting to read. It also talks about what it is like an immigrant. Great book.
| vishwas*******@gmail.com |
An extremely well written memoir of a Vietnamese girl, growing in USA, who wants become a ‘real American’ following all that is American, totally transforming herself from Buddhist roots. An engaging book that will let you turn pages out of curiosity of wanting to know more. A great and interesting book.
