Native Speaker
Native Speaker
Author: Chang-Rae Lee
Genre: Literature & Fiction
Book Type: Paperback
reviewed on + 8 more book reviews
Helpful Score: 4


This is the first appearance on the American literary scene of Chang Rae Lee who writes of the trials endured by his immigrant Korean American hero: his outsider status, his confusion over conflicting loyalties, and his love for his American wife. Beautifully written, so much so that I literally wept over the tragedies narrated.
