Struggling to support his studies, he travels throughout the United States and Canada, becoming by turns a traveling salesman, a domestic worker, and a farmer, and observing along the way the idealism, greed, and shifting values of the industrializing twentieth century. Part picaresque adventure, part shrewd social commentary, East Goes West casts a sharply satirical eye on the demands and perils of assimilation. It is a masterpiece not only of Asian American literature but also of American literature"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 7 $a FICTION / Cultural Heritage. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION / Literary. $2 bisacsh 650 0 $a Korean Americans $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Korea $x Emigration and immigration $v Fiction. 651 0 $a New York (N.Y.) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Immigrants $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Autobiographical fiction. $2 lcgft 776 08 $i Online version: $a Kang, Younghill, 1903-1972, author. $t East goes West $d New York : Penguin Books, 2019 $z 9780525506119 $w (DLC) 2019010397 830 0 $a Penguin classics 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190806075216.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=095579AC9C8F11E981649E3E97128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
