Recenzii
"A tour-de-force sojourn into a never-before-told zone of small town American bigotry. Hapa Girl is consistently stylish, permanently courageous, bitingly tragic, but always rationally detached with a Marx Brothers' wit. This is May-lee Chai's best comment yet about America."
—Anthony B. Chan, author of Perpetually Cool: The Many Lives of Anna May Wong
