Dubious Gastronomy
California roll, Chinese take-out, American-made kimchi, dogmeat, monosodium glutamate, SPAM—all are examples of what Robert Ji-Song Ku calls “dubious” foods. Strongly associated with Asian and Asian American gastronomy, they are commonly understood as ersatz, depraved, or simply bad. In Dubious Gastronomy, Ku contends that these foods share a spiritual fellowship with Asians in the United States in that the Asian presence, be it culinary or corporeal, is often considered watered-down, counterfeit, or debased manifestations of the “real thing.” The American expression of Asianness is defined as doubly inauthentic—as insufficiently Asian and unreliably American when measured again...
Looking Through You
"As Kara, Sue Ellen, Juanita, Lucas and Joel gather on the beach to make plans to go to an amusement park, Lucas plays a compilation tape of songs from the 60s made for him by Christy Bekken, one of "The Crowd" at school. The music on the tape suddenly stops and a distraught Christy is heard speaking angrily to someone. It is obvious that Christy did not know she was being recorded. The tape ends abruptly and the people listening are stunned. Because no one else is heard on the tape, the friends speculate about who Christy could possibly be speaking to, and what has happened. Lucas--a member of the lower social orders at the school and who is fond of Christy--decides to confront her directly. When he does, Christy is evasive and wants Lucas to give her the tape and forget about it. Lucas returns the tape, but after Christy's boyfriend, Bobby, attacks Lucas, he is sure there is something more going on. As Lucas continues to pursue the truth, we learn more and more about the inner lives of each of the characters and what's beneath the images they present to the world."--Publisher's website.
