"'American Knees' is so refreshing - what an enegetic and humorous view Shawn Wong has so bravely taken!...This should be required reading."
From the Publisher
"I cracked up reading Shawn Wong’s witty, tender, wise, and sexy new novel. His lovable but ambivalent protagonist collides memorably with a cast of female characters who are a welcome change from the shrinking violets and silent martyrs we’ve come to expect from ‘ethnic’ literature. American Knees is contemporary to the bone – a highly entertaining, deftly written, provocative and moving work of fiction."—Jessica Hagedorn, author of Dogeaters
