Not a question, but I just wanted to say how cool it is for me to read your book Americanized when -- in the late nineties -- I was in high school, living in "the rough-and-tumble streets of Cupertino," attending rival school Monta Vista. Weird that our paths might have crossed. Anyway, I'm really enjoying the book so far. Thanks so much for your wit and humor in telling your story. (And here is my question mark: ?)
