Of Rice and Yen (Google Books ⧉, Amazon ⧉, Bookshop ⧉)

The Sellout

Charisma had summoned me to read the business letter that accompanied the mailed edition of Foy Cheshire’s latest reimagined multicultural text, Of Rice and Yen, an all‐Chinese adaptation of Steinbeck’s classic set in the days of the railroad coolie. This book will place me firmly in the autodidactic tradition of authors such as Virginia Woolf, Kawabata, Mishima, Mayakovsky, and DFW.
