Seriously, any one remotely familiar with Asian culture knows that filial duty is held to be extremely important. <br />The review primarily serves to expose Corrigan's ignorance--and her biases.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-199038920161794698.post-31553293449632000732011-04-25T10:58:06.319-04:002011-04-25T10:58:06.319-04:00Wow, yeah, the Kimchee scented Kleenex thing was d...Wow, yeah, the Kimchee scented Kleenex thing was definitely unnecessary. I call serious racist bullshit on that, too.<br /><br />Seems like this book is getting flack from Western audiences who--despite the immersive nature of the point of view--are letting their own life experiences and cultural biases color what they're reading. I'll have to give it a shot.

I've read the NY Times review of this book and it seems like these "reviewers" have no idea what this book is about or even care to know because it's set in a culture different from their own.Vasillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08463689838763126048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-199038920161794698.post-18670487273168397952011-04-24T09:23:10.287-04:002011-04-24T09:23:10.287-04:00The review was disgusting but the book looks inter...The review was disgusting but the book looks interesting.
