The New "Typical American".......2005-05-05
I saw Gish Jen read and bought Typical American so I could get her signature and say I had a signed copy. So everyone would envy me. I didn't know when I would get around to reading it.
But then I started reading it, and it's become an entirely charming, engrossing, compelling page-turner. I have plenty of other things to do, miles to go before I sleep, but I can't quit reading about these people--Ralph, his sister Theresa, and his wife, Helen. What engaging people. And Gish Jen--she's funny, great sense of style to her prose; she's wry and moving both. Gish Jen--please, turn me loose. But no, don't. This is the kind of book that's so enjoyable I don't want it to end. Apart from the pure pleasure of reading, moreover, there's a serious purpose to this book: Gish Jen is doing something important for us, in a vein similar to Maxine Hong Kingston. Jen is redefining what a "typical American" is. At a number of points, the gradually more Americanized Chinese immigrants at the center of the story scoff at "typical Americans" for their wastefulness, for their laziness, for many qualities that people from other countries have begun to associate stereotypically (perhaps with some justice) with Americans--satisfied, not wanting to put out too much energy, complacent, arrogant. But in the meantime, Ralph, Theresa, and Helen are themselves becoming "typical Americans." Not in the sense they criticize, but in several new senses. On the one hand, they integrate themselves into the revelation of the American dream--the house outside the city, the green lawn, the rewards for hard work, planning, and desiring. On the other hand, they are becoming the "typical Americans" in the sense that they represent the new Americans who are changing the character of America: from its Euro/Judeo/Christian origins (the people who set aside the Native American tradition) to its new roots in both native peoples (not an issue in this book) and in the new immigrants, who come, struggle in their new environment, have disappointments and successes, individual and cultural quirks, experience resentment and hostility from those who have become settled and consider themselves the rightful "owners" of the land (I'm thinking of an incident where Ralph takes his family to a ball game and is jeeringly advised to go back to his laundry--he's actually a mechanical engineer with a PhD). These are the new typical American: they arrive from exotic lands speaking a language that has no European connection, and put a new face on the country; but by the same token, they are typical in the old sense, the same sense as the Irish, Germans, Jews, Eastern Europeans, etcetcetc: they come from foreign lands to the place of nearly unlimited opportunity, work hard to establish themselves, and finally begin to reap the fruits of their monumental labors. Thus the title has multiple resonances, both ironic (its references to the complacent entrenched) and, I would almost say, reverent in its compassion--its focus on these very amusing and sympathetic newcomers who genuinely love what they are able to gain (the new home with its many rooms in a new neighborhood) after having lived in near despair and poverty. At one point, after Ralph finally passes a driver's license test, they take a drive to their old apartment building, which, they find, has indeed had part of a wall break off--the very part they feared would crumble when they lived there. They had covered the crack with a filing cabinet. When they removed the cabinet, they discovered blue sky showing through the wall.
This book is filled with more imaginative, ironic, amusing incidents and character observations and descriptions than I can possibly enumerate in what is ceasing to be a brief review. I'll just say that the book is a reward at the end of a long day. Read it and be touched.
A Typical Story, Typically Told.......2005-01-21
The immigrant experience in America is well-trodden ground and unfortuntely Gish Jen's Typical American doesn't really add much to this well-established body of literature. Her writing style is good, the story she tells is moderately compelling (if frequently unrealistic) and on, and on, and on. There's nothing wrong with Typical American, but that's hardly a good reason to pick it up and read it. If you're interested in the American immigrant experience, I recommend Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides or Call it Sleep by Henry Roth. If Chinese family life is your interest, Wild Swans by Jung Chang or Life and Death in Shanghai by Nien Chang are far more worthy of your investment of time.
Disappointing .......2004-11-17
I purchased this book ages ago at a used book sale (OK, not great condition, 50 cents). I finally got around to reading it this past weekend, and I finished it last night.
Like I indicated in my title, it was disappointing. I was expecting more from this debut novel, but it didn't deliver. The characters/situations did not ring true in the least, and the humor that was promised by the blurbs on the cover, well, I personally couldn't locate it.
I like stories about the immigrant experience in America. But for a book to be good (for me), the writing has to be fluid, the situations and characters must, absolutely must, ring true, and if it illustrates its themes with at least a soupcon of humor, then you usually have a winner, And last, but most definitely not least, it has to be a book you don't want to put down.
If you're on this page I'm sure you're already familiar with Amy Tan. But if not, I heartily recommend her four novels. Here is a list of them, in the order of my favorites:
The Joy Luck Club (perfection)
The Kitchen God's Wife (perfection)
The Bonesetter's Daughter
The Hundred Secret Senses
A wry, ironic, emotionally complex novel- a brilliant debut........2002-03-23
It's only after reading this fascinating book that one fully appreciates the irony intrinsic to the title. This is a book that is thoroughly atypical in virtually all its aspects.
Typical American follows the lives of three Chinese immigrants in New York: Ralph Chang, his sister Theresa, and Theresa's roommate Helen, who becomes Ralph's wife. Theresa becomes a doctor, Ralph earns a Ph. D. in mechanical engineering and gets a job teaching at a local college, and Ralph and Helen have two daughters.
As they each become caught up in achieving the American dream, they must make difficult choices about the importance of success, family loyalty, and the people they hope to become.
Essentially, however, like all immigrant tales, the underlying aspect of the story is one of assimilation. Usually tales of Chinese assimilation into the American mainstream demand the forsaking of Chinese customs; conversely, preservation of Chinese traditions requires the rejection of any possibilities of assimilation. The dramatization of such cultural conflicts has become somewhat formulaic, and Chinese-American writers seem locked in this conventional depiction of the Chinese immigrant experience.
Not Gish Jen. In Typical American Gish Jen rewrites the formula that has long dominated Chinese-American immigrant fiction, and complicates firm notions of Chinese and American identities that have been staple elements of that formula.
Normally these assimilation tales are multi-generational sagas where the conventional opposition between American and Chinese cultures is usually played out through generational conflicts, in which the older, immigrant generation's insistent preservation of Chinese traditions are pitted against their first -generation offspring's desire to cast off those manacles.
Not here. Eschewing this "typical"' setting for her narrative, Jen breaks from the paradigmatic use of Chinatown that has been a staple of Chinese immigrant narratives. This also removes the Changs from the clutches of parental demands or strict Chinatown societal codes. Rather than settling in an established Chinese community for moral and financial support Ralph, Helen and Theresa remain very isolated in their new life in America. This isolation from the "parental' or "traditional" elements of Chinese culture enables Jen to illustrate the conflicts inherent to cultural assimilation within the context of the individual rather than a group. And, so, while the characters strive mightily to achieve "typical American" status-the full middle class lifestyle with all the accouterments and benefits that implies-they nevertheless still see many of the traits and behaviors attendant to that lifestyle through Chinese eyes and refer to these behavioral traits in Anglos pejoratively as "typical American" Behavior. Thus they are in the position of decrying what they actively seek to attain, thus brilliantly illustrating the often schizoid process of assimilation.
The first line of the book asserts that this is "an American story", but in fact this is neither a "typical Chinese-immigrant" story, nor a ""typical American" one. In the end, no one is "typical" anything. Ralph's revelation at the end is not the disillusionment of a Chinese nor an American, but simply a man confused by the complexity of the new context that surround him: "Kan bu fian. Ting bu fian. He could not always see, could not always hear. He was not what he made up his mind to be.
Both Ralph's and Helen's revelations at the end of the book 'are critical moments in which Jen invalidates the generational/ cultural conflict paradigm; she has deftly shown that the notion that the choice that one "stay Chinese" or "become American" is an illusion. In fact, the "typical" immigrant will never be either.
This is a wry, ironic, emotionally complex novel that is well worth reading.
There Is No Such Thing As American Dream.......2002-03-22
Ralph, Helen, and Theresa immigrated from China to escape political instability in the post-War era. The trio of young ambitious Chinese immigrants slowly transformed into everything they once despised in the typical American as they set out after their dreams and created their own suburban paradise. Ralph, like many of his counterparts, struggled with his visa but mangaged to finished his PhD in mechanical engineering and obtained a university tenure. Together with his wife Helen (introduced to him by his sister Theresa), the young couple set out to make the so-called "American dream" come way in all possible ways: finding a split-level home in the suburbs of Connecticut, making huge bucks in fast food (America is such a fast food nation), walking dog and sending dog to training school, making excursions into adultery. Theresa studied to become a doctor who later on engaged in an affair with a man. Ironically, as the ambitious trio fulfilled their "American dream" (ahhhammm) they have become someone whom they despised in the first place-typical American: the typical American no-good, typical American don't-know-how-to-get-along, typical American just-want-to-be-the-center-of-things, typical American no-morals, typical American use-brute-force, typical American just-dumb, typical American no-manners, and typical American eating-junk-and-not-healthy. The trio began to adopt to more American vocabular but still retained their Chinese ways of thinking like "xiang ban fa"-think of a way. In a way, the American dream has corrupted the trio. Ralph became so money-oriented that he believed he can only fit in the society if he made good money. If he couldn't make a lot of money, he would be dubbed Chinamen. "Money, in this country, you have money, you can do anything. You have no money, you are nobody. You are Chinaman! Is that simple!" Even Helen, she allowed himself to engage in sexual quickie in her own house behind her husband's back with Grover Ding, who represented a typical American-born-Chinese that was not rooted in any traditional Chinese values. Afterall, the American dream will never be the same again. Gish Jen's writing has astutely portraited a typical immigrant experience through her witty style and choice of waords. As a Chinese-American, I can deeply relate to the Chang's experience-the desire to fit in but at the same time the quest for prosperity, success, and respect. The novel might seem funny but who can really understand immigrants' life struggles if not being one?

Book Description
In 1919, C. Burton and Hattie S. Cosgrove bought land in Grant Country, New Mexico, and began excavating ruins containing Classic Mimbres (ca. A.D. 1000-1150) ceramics. The self-trained archaeologists took great care in uncovering and recording their findings. They so impressed A.V. Kidder of the Peabody Museum when he visited the site he invited them to manage a museum expedition to the Swarts Ruin.
Long out of print, this classic volume is the Cosgrove's report of their Mimbres Valley Expedition seasons of 1924 to 1927. The excavation recorded nearly 10,000 artifacts, including an extraordinary assemblage of Mimbres ceramics. Hattie Cosgrove's meticulous line drawings of over 700 individual Swarts Ruin pots have long been an invaluable design catalog for contemporary Native American artists and serve as a rich resource for designers seeking Southwest inspiration in their work.
This clothbound facsimile edition of the original 1932 publication will be an essential to the libraries of all scholars, artists, and admirers of Native American art and archaeology.

In New Orleans in 1833, appearance is everything for people of color. "His own coat and waistcoat ... were one badge of his freedom," Barbara Hambly writes about Ben January, a surgeon and teacher of music. "Even more than the papers the law demanded he carry--and as much as the well-bred French his tutors and his mother had hammered into him as a child--they said, This is a free man of color, not somebody's property to be bought and sold." When the veteran science fiction writer Hambly first introduced January, in the stunning and heartbreaking A Free Man of Color, the only problem seemed to be that the book told us so much about a vanished world that it couldn't possibly support a sequel. Fortunately, Hambly has found a way to make it work by putting January into a real crime, the case of a woman named Delphine Lalaurie whose savagery toward her slaves managed to shock even her contemporaries. "She was a tall woman, imperially straight; and though nearly every Creole woman of her age had surrendered to rich food and embonpoint, she retained the slim figure of a girl," Hambly writes of the majestic Delphine on her first meeting with January. She has come to the reeking, corpse-clogged hospital where January is working during a cholera epidemic to warn him about helping a runaway slave girl accused of murder. Ignoring that warning puts January into a situation so full of danger to himself and others that in lesser hands it could easily have become overwrought. Hambly, however, knows better than anyone that readers connect to characters rooted in honesty, regardless of how alien their environment may seem to us. --Dick Adler
Book Description
Benjamin January made his debut in bestselling author Barbara Hambly's
A Free Man of Color, a haunting mélange of history and mystery. Now he returns in another novel of greed, madness, and murder amid the dark shadows and dazzling society of old New Orleans, named a Notable Book of the Year by the New York Times.
The summer of 1833 has been one of brazen heat and brutal pestilence, as the city is stalked by Bronze John—the popular name for the deadly yellow fever epidemic that tests the healing skills of doctor and voodoo alike. Even as Benjamin January tends the dying at Charity Hospital during the steaming nights, he continues his work as a music teacher during the day.
When he is asked to pass a message from a runaway slave to the servant of one of his students, January finds himself swept into a tempest of lies, greed, and murder that rivals the storms battering New Orleans. And to find the truth he must risk his freedom...and his very life.

Fever Season.......2005-09-22
The book was in very good condition. The price was great. Only semi-complaint, it took longer than usual for the book to arrive.
--Read a FREE MAN OF COLOR first--.......2005-03-29
FEVER SEASON is the second book in the Benjamin January mystery series. The first book is called A FREE MAN OF COLOR and I believe that this book is much easier to understand and enjoy if it's read after the primary story.
Ben is a black man, who had been freed from slavery and left New Orleans, went to France where he was educated as a doctor and returned to New Orleans. The year is 1833 and Ben has to be very careful, people are dying of Bronze John which is the name for cholera. To add to the terrible season, a gang of men are stealing freed black people off the streets, and reselling them into slavery in different areas of the country. Ben's constantly worried that he will be kidnapped and sold into slavery again. He carries his papers with him, and maintains copies of those papers in several different places. Ben, although a medical doctor is not allowed to fully practice medicine and has to make his living as a musician. He stays in New Orleans because it is his home, and he has family there, but he often thinks about the freedom that he had in France. He's a kind and religious character, and really tries to be a good person. As in the first book, there is a very interesting mystery that Benjamin is working to discover.
I really like this series. I think that the author's done a terrific job in her research into the 1840's of New Orleans. There is a lot of information to take in, and many characters to keep track of, but certainly worth the read.
Murder in Historical New Orleans.......2004-09-07
It's the summer of 1833 and the muddy, cobbledstone streets of New Orleans reek with the stench of death. The city is under siege by an invisible killer that is claiming hundreds of lives. Knowing no difference between class or color, yellow fever is striking at will. From the lavish mansions of the wealthy landowners to the battered slave quarters, no one is safe. Nothing seems to be able to keep the illness at bay, not the skills of the conventional doctors or the mysterious healing powers of the voodoos. Citizens fortunate enough to get away to the country flee in droves. The ones left behind avoid the streets and open markets as much as possible, leaving New Orleans a virtual ghost town by night fall.
The city's hospital is filled beyond capacity with the wailing, suffering victims of the fever. For Benjamin January this is one of the rare occasions where he can use his skills in medicine. Educated in the finest medical schools in France, January is an accomplished, experienced surgeon. However, in 1833 New Orleans no Black man can practice medicine, even if they are free. Therefore, January is subjected to being nothing more than an assistant to less competent white doctors. Yet, as a trained physician he can not ignore the suffering of others. So by night, enduring meager wages and indignities, he assists the suffering victims as best as he can, sometimes secretly correcting the wrongs his less skilled white counterparts bestow upon them.
By day January earns his living as a music teacher, one of the few dignified jobs available to a free man of color. He teaches the children from wealthy white families as well as a few from the free black families how to read music and play piano. It is during one of these lessons that January is approached by a runaway slave to relay a message to the servant of one of his pupils. Having been a slave himself, January understands the desire to hear and see loved ones who have been sold away, so he takes the risk to pass on the message. Little does he know that this one act of kindness will have deadly consequences.
Intrigued and angered by the events that transpires, January decides to investigate. What he uncovers is a string of mysterious disappearances masked by the yellow fever epidemic. Understanding that it is not safe or accessible for a Black man to question what goes on behind certain closed doors, January approaches everything and everyone with extreme caution. He knows that he must rely upon his wit and a few trustworthy friends to get to the truth. As he digs deeper into the mystery, risking life and limb, he uncovers a den of lies, deceptions and a sadistic, murderous secret that will shock and anger even the most hardened New Orleans citizen.
In FEVER SEASON, Barbara Hambly has captured the essence of old New Orleans.
Hambly brings to life the complex mixture of cultures and people that helped form New Orleans into such a legendary city. Never relinquishing to mere stereotypes, Benjamin January is a character who understands his environment and those who inhabit it. Hambly allows him to remain dignified and intelligent in a world that often did not appreciate such attributes in a Black man. January was first introduced in A Free Man of Color, and although FEVER SEASON continues with his experiences in New Orleans, it truly is a stand alone novel. So for anyone who wants an intelligent mystery where the characters are believable and the plot is thrilling, pull up a bowl of gumbo and take a stroll down the French Quarter in FEVER SEASON.

A Chilling Account from 1833 New Orleans........2003-09-12
This book is spare as well as chilling. Ms. Hambly borrows from true historical situations to write this story about her "freed coloured" hero, Benjamin January. This book opens during a massive "fever" (Bronze John) outbreak in New Orleans in the summer. Benjamin is working nights at a hospital trying to help people stricken with the sickness. He is a trained doctor, although he is not allowed to practice at any other time because he is "coloured". He is asked to pass a message from a runaway slave to her slave lover in another household and from this seemingly innocuous act, he is embroiled into a maelstrom of of lies, greed, torture and murder. As we read we see life as it was in 1833 New Orleans. We also see how black people had no choice or rights in that city, even if they were "free" and not slaves. It's scary to see what can be overlooked and glossed over for cultural or politically reasons. This is an awesome historical mystery, and much more fast-moving and exciting than the first one was.
Engrossing mystery, believeable setting.......2002-05-02
Barbara Hambly gives her readers a mystery that captures their attention and a main character that captures their sympathy. Benjamin January is in quite an unenviable position. He is a free man of color, but his status is very precarious in a society that at one time respected the rights of people like him, but as more American whites have come in, his freedom could be taken away at any moment. And with the murder of a free woman of color ruffling the feathers of both the white and colored community, Benjamin's very life could be in danger.
Ms. Hambly not only makes the mystery engrossing, she also makes the caste system engrossing. We come to understand the ins and outs of the New Orleans society Benjamin and his family and friends reside. We also understand why Benjamin both reviles it and yet cannot leave it. For better or worse, this is home. And Ms. Hambly describes it in lush detail, from the wild costumes of the colored balls to the Louisiana backwoods and swamps. You can almost feel the drumbeats the slaves are forbidden to tap out, yet do so with their voices and the rhythm of their work. I will definitely be reading more of this series.

The origin of many threads in the series..........2001-11-18
As in all the anthologies in this series, FEVER SEASON's stories are written in a braided format, so that the effect is almost seamless as the events of the book flow forward. My comments are organized more by author than by appearance in the book.
Cherryh's own story, "Fever Season", is the thread around which the others develop. There's been no Plague, only the Crud, but since Mondragon hasn't fully adapted to Merovingen's local germs, he is seriously ill. At this point in the series, the Takahashi brothers move into Mondragon's place, so that he can be cared for without publicly showing weakness.
Abbey, Lynn: "Life Assurance" - More about the Kamats, particularly Richard, beginning with lunch at the Ramsey Bell, the tavern frequented by heirs and second sons of trading houses. (As Richard's peers are mostly his father's generation, he still eats at the Bell - a fine place to pick up information.) Jordie Slade, one of Kamat's workers, has disappeared, so Richard, with a Kamat's sense of responsibility, investigates the matter personally. Eleanora, Jordie's wife (or is she a widow?), appears for the first time.
Asire, Nancy: "Night Ride" - When 6 men attack a youngster on a walkway, Justice Lee rescues the kid - who turns out to be Raj. Raj wants to know how an Adventist got into the College (no real Revenantist would get involved in a stranger's karma). He'd give anything for the College's medical training...
Fish, Leslie: "War of the Unseen Worlds" - Rif appears at Jones' tie-up to collect on her promise (see Festival Moon, "First Night Cruise") to help Rif on her next run through the city.
Lackey, Mercedes: "A Plague On Your Houses" - Raj has 2 apparently hopeless dreams - a crush on Marina Kamat, and becoming a doctor. As it happens, Raj'd be a fairly good doctor; he knows a lot of swampy herb lore...enough, maybe, to save the life of one Thomas Mondragon, if Raj can trade get the drugs he needs from the swamp.
Unfortunately, Raj leaves anonymous poems for Marina Kamat. When she catches him, she believes his 'I'm-just-a-messenger' tale - then traces him to Mondragon's place(!). The consequences of Raj's actions come home to roost in subsequent volumes.
Morris, Chris: "Hearts and Minds" - Cardinal Ito Boregy, conducting Mike Chamoun's catechism sessions, bitterly resents Cassie's betrothal to this Adventist convert. Consequently, he spices up the lessons with a 'sacrament' of hallucinogenic deathangel powder - with major consequences, as Mike apparently has visions of a past life.
Morris, Janet: "Instant Karma" - Here is the 'sharrh overflight' we hear so much about in later books, which panics the city...but are the sharrh really responsible?
The appendix on Merovingen ecology discusses Epidemiology 101 (this town is making me sick), Pharmacology 101, Aquatic Ecology 101 (what's to eat?), 102 (what's eating you?), and Oceanography 101 (whose fault is it?)

Very sweet book.......2006-04-11
This is one of the first books we ever bought for our daughter. At 2 months old the shiny flower petal tabs and bright colors held her attention. Now at 13 months she will sit and look at it alone and also with Mommy. Salina Yoon's illustrations are very bold and colorful. The lady bugs, blue birds, butterflys and flowers are captivating. The text is short and rhymes. Just right for a book beginner!
