Shirley Lim. Among the White Moon Faces: An Asian-American Memoir of Homelands

Poet Lim's memoir describes her childhood in Malaysia, the post- colonial days of her university youth, and her eventual migration to the United States. In this cultural document of both the US and Malaysia, her poetic mastery makes the tale vivid by its evocative language and attention to emotional detail, somewhat mitigating the often characteristic triteness of immigrant stories, particularly ones like this that rely heavily on feminist and psychological ideologies.
