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"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000866633 650_0 $$aKorean Americans$$vFiction. 000866633 650_0 $$aImmigrants$$vFiction. 000866633 651_0 $$aKorea$$xEmigration and immigration$$vFiction. 000866633 651_0 $$aNew York (N.Y.)$$vFiction. 000866633 655_7 $$aAutobiographical fiction.$$2lcgft 000866633 85200 $$bgen$$hPS3521.A444$$iE27$$i2019 000866633 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:866633$$pGLOBAL_SET 000866633 980__ $$aBIB 000866633 980__ $$aBOOK
