Ryan Lee Wong's Which Side Are You On is primarily a short, satisfying novel of Korean American experience in South California, but it also connects to Black American experience, the L.A. riots, Chinese, Black, and Korean activism, mother-son relationships, and more. I searched online while reading this past week and learned via Facebook post that his father passed on earlier this year; the dad in the book bears a strong resemblance to the father of the obituary.

I finished the longer of the two novels included in W.D. Clarke's White Mythology, and I highly recommend it. The novel I read is about 335 pages, and it is followed by a novella of about 120 pages. The longer one includes extraordinary sentences very reminiscent, at times, of the prose we see in early Pynchon, some Barth, Rushdie, and so on.
