American Born Chinese

內容簡介

內容簡介 American Born Chinese故事由三條線串在一起。 第一個故事是華人經典的的西遊記—美猴王孫悟空稱霸花果山，如今想到天庭參加派對，卻得排上好長的隊伍。牠失去耐心，大發脾氣。第二故事，男孩Jin Wang一家搬到美國新社區，發現自己是社區中唯一的華人。他喜歡班上的白人女孩，卻不知怎麼表白。第三個故事講述Danny的表哥Chin-Kee，是典型的粗魯大聲公。每每他的到訪都造成Danny很大的困擾，Danny年年搬家，就是為了躲表哥。這三個看似不相關的故事，卻都和族群認同相關，華裔作者Gene Yang，將三個故事故事交織在一起，會產生什麼驚奇的火花呢？ Gene Luen Yang was the fifth the National Ambassador for Young People's Literature and is a MacArthur Fellow, a recipient of what's popularly known as the MacArthur Genius Grant. A tour-de-force by New York Times bestselling graphic novelist Gene Yang, American Born Chinese tells the story of three apparently unrelated characters: Jin Wang, who moves to a new neighborhood with his family only to discover that he's the only Chinese-American student at his new school; the powerful Monkey King, subject of one of the oldest and greatest Chinese fables; and Chin-Kee, a personification of the ultimate negative Chinese stereotype, who is ruining his cousin Danny's life with his yearly visits. Their lives and stories come together with an unexpected twist in this action-packed modern fable. American Born Chinese is an amazing ride, all the way up to the astonishing climax. American Born Chinese is the winner of the 2007 Michael L. Printz Award, a 2006 National Book Award Finalist for Young People's Literature, the winner of the 2007 Eisner Award for Best Graphic Album: New, an Eisner Award nominee for Best Coloring, a 2007 Bank Street Best Children's Book of the Year, and a New York Times bestseller.
