In the Company of Strangers (Bamboo Ridge Special Issue)

Fiction. Asian American Studies. Filipino American Studies. "Sixteen deceptively simple stories comprise Michelle Cruz Skinner's much-anticipated follow-up to Balikbayan and Mango Seasons, many of them about Filipinos tongue-tied and alienated in the motherland, or scattered across the map of heartaches and homesickness in the company of strangers called countrymen, family, lovers. A book of quiet gems definitely worth the wait"--R. Zamora Linmark.
