Set in early twentieth-century Chinatown, Mrs. Spring Fragrance and Other Writings is the story of Chinese men and women living in the United States as they wrestle with prejudice and forced detention; choose to become wholly Americanized or stay true to their cultural heritage; meet both kind and predatory Americans; and find love, purpose, and understanding within their families. By turns ironic and heart-rending, these stories are windows into the lives of everyday people in an unforgiving, often racist city who find solidarity and hope in the most unexpected places. 505 00 $t Leaves from the mental portfolio of and Eurasian. $t The inferior woman -- $t The wisdom of the new -- $t "Its wavering image" -- $t The gift of little me -- $t The story of one White woman who married a Chinese -- $t Her Chinese husband -- $t The Americanizing of Pau Tsu -- $t In the land of the free -- $t The Chinese lily -- $t The smuggling of the Tie Co -- $t The god of restoration -- $t The three sould of Ah So Nana -- $t The prize China baby -- $t Lin John -- $t Tian Shan's kindred spirit -- $t The sing song woman -- $t Leaves from the mental portfolio of and Eurasian. 650 0 $a Chinese Americans $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Chinatown (San Francisco, Calif.) $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Zhang, C Pam, $e writer of introduction. 941 $a 1 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20211123010831.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1103D6FA4C2B11ECAC4B6F2A3AECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
