Download or read book East Eats West written by Andrew Lam and published by Heyday.ORIM. This book was released on 2019-05-03 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Includes some of Lam’s most memorable writings, about cuisine, self-esteem, sex and kung fu, all seen from a two-hemisphere perspective.” —SFGate East Eats West shines new light on the bridges and crossroads where two global regions meld into one worldwide “immigrant nation.” In this new nation, with its amalgamation of divergent ideas, tastes, and styles, today’s bold fusion becomes tomorrow’s classic. But while the space between East and West continues to shrink in this age of globalization, some cultural gaps remain. In this collection of twenty-one personal essays, Andrew Lam, the award-winning author of Perfume Dreams, continues to explore the Vietnamese diaspora, this time concentrating not only on how the East and West have changed but how they are changing each other. Lively and engaging, East Eats West searches for meaning in nebulous territory charted by very few. Part memoir, part meditation, and part cultural anthropology, East Eats West is about thriving in the West with one foot still in the East. “In these lovely, wise, probing essays, Andrew Lam not only illuminates the crucial twenty-first-century issues of immigration and cultural identity but the greater, enduring issues of what it means to be human . . . a compelling book.” —Robert Olen Butler, Pulitzer Prize–winning author “Andrew Lam is an expert time-traveler, collapsing childhood and adulthood; years of war and peace; and the evolution of language in his own life, time, and mind. To read Andrew’s work is a joy and a profound journey.” —Farai Chideya, author of The Episodic Career “One of the best American essayists of his generation.” —Wayne Karlin, author of A Wolf by the Ears

Book A Tour in Both Hemispheres

Download or read book A Tour in Both Hemispheres written by Eugene Vetromile and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-02 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Tour in Both Hemispheres: Or, Travels Around the World The principal object of my journey through the lakes Huron and Superior to the South Pacific Ocean, Australia, China, and India, was the investigation of the physiognomy, character, manners, language, and religion of the natives. To do this it was not sufficient to see them, to treat with them, visit their villages, camps, observing their occupations and daily habits, but it was necessary to hold, conferences on these subjects with their missionaries, who, having spent the best of their days and sacrificed their lives amongst them, could give that most reliable information which I desired. By comparison with the North American natives, improperly called Indians, I may hope to furnish an additional light for the solution of the question, "Whence came these Indians?" Many prominent members of several Historical Societies have often urged me to make investigations upon this subject. Lately having occasion to visit Italy, and being required to attend the International Congress of Americanists that was to assemble at Luxemburg on the 10th of September, 1877, I resolved to undertake this journey.

  • Release : 2012-09-01
  • ISBN : 9781479251544
  • Pages : 100 pages

Download or read book Between the Two Hemispheres written by Anastasia Varenita and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-09-01 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a student of Ole Miss University in her course of international studies Anastasia travelled two continents: Latin America in 2011 and Europe in 2012. Here is the quote from her book: "...person who chooses to travel is one affected with wanderlust. This person wants to see life as it exists outside of his culture. He travels with an open mind and open eyes and is ready to see and accept other cultural traditions without derisive sneering and comparing other cultures to his own. He does not challenge or dare the world - he challenges himself to learn and understand life in our diverse and awe-inspiring planet. This person is excited about meeting new people and making friends in places other than his comfort zone because people are the key to understanding other cultures." And one more quotation of the author: "...my experiences... allowed me to develop a different attitude about life. In many ways, this was the transition into adulthood... The biggest thing that I learned from this summer is to trust and respect myself..."

Book The Exegesis of Philip K Dick

Download or read book The Exegesis of Philip K Dick written by Philip K. Dick and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. This book was released on 2011-11-07 with total page 1003 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A great and calamitous sequence of arguments with the universe: poignant, terrifying, ludicrous, and brilliant. The Exegesis is the sort of book associated with legends and madmen, but Dick wasn't a legend and he wasn't mad. He lived among us, and was a genius."-Jonathan Lethem Based on thousands of pages of typed and handwritten notes, journal entries, letters, and story sketches, The Exegesis of Philip K. Dick is the magnificent and imaginative final work of an author who dedicated his life to questioning the nature of reality and perception, the malleability of space and time, and the relationship between the human and the divine. Edited and introduced by Pamela Jackson and Jonathan Lethem, this will be the definitive presentation of Dick's brilliant, and epic, final work. In The Exegesis, Dick documents his eight-year attempt to fathom what he called "2-3-74," a postmodern visionary experience of the entire universe "transformed into information." In entries that sometimes ran to hundreds of pages, Dick tried to write his way into the heart of a cosmic mystery that tested his powers of imagination and invention to the limit, adding to, revising, and discarding theory after theory, mixing in dreams and visionary experiences as they occurred, and pulling it all together in three late novels known as the VALIS trilogy. In this abridgment, Jackson and Lethem serve as guides, taking the reader through the Exegesis and establishing connections with moments in Dick's life and work.

Book Travel Writing  Form  and Empire

Download or read book Travel Writing Form and Empire written by Julia Kuehn and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2008-11-19 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays is an important contribution to travel writing studies -- looking beyond the explicitly political questions of postcolonial and gender discourses, it considers the form, poetics, institutions and reception of travel writing in the history of empire and its aftermath. Starting from the premise that travel writing studies has received much of its impetus and theoretical input from the sometimes overgeneralized precepts of postcolonial studies and gender studies, this collection aims to explore more widely and more locally the expression of imperialist discourse in travel writing, and also to locate within contemporary travel writing attempts to evade or re-engage with the power politics of such discourse. There is a double focus then to explore further postcolonial theory in European travel writing (Anglophone, Francophone and Hispanic), and to trace the emergence of postcolonial forms of travel writing. The thread that draws the two halves of the collection together is an interest in form and relations between form and travel.
