"Timely and extremely important . . . In this book Gish Jen has once again taken the universal and made it personal, and vice versa . . . She is uniquely suited to explore this topic." --Lisa See, The Washington Post
"Wise, impeccably researched, beautifully written, and vitally important . . . Gish Jen brings a novelist's understanding heart and a scholar's appreciation to her new book on the cultural differences between East and West, and a sympathetic perspective of someone who has been both an insider and an outsider in both." --Nell Minow, The Huffington Post "I loved the book! A deep psychological examination of how place, habits, and identity mix in our world. Tremendous!" --Yo-Yo Ma "Fascinating . . . Rich with examples of the contrast between Asian Society and our own. . . . She is onto something that the typical American may become aware of as we bump into people unlike ourselves--from other cultures, not limited to Asians." --Repps Hudson, St. Louis Post-Dispatch "A fascinating, brilliant book that gripped me from page one. Subtle, erudite, and daring, The Girl at the Baggage Claim is a tour de force by one of the most insightful writers of our time." --Amy Chua, the John M. Duff Jr. Professor of Law at Yale Law School, and author of Battle Hymn of the Tiger MotherA provocative and important study of the different ideas Easterners and Westerners have about the self and society and what this means for current debates in art, education, geopolitics, and business.
Never have East and West come as close as they are today, yet we are still baffled by one another. Is our mantra "To thine own self be true"? Or do we believe we belong to something larger than ourselves--a family, a religion, a troop--that claims our first allegiance? Gish Jen--drawing on a treasure trove of stories and personal anecdotes, as well as cutting-edge research in cultural psychology--reveals how this difference shapes what we perceive and remember, what we say and do and make--how it shapes everything from our ideas about copying and talking in class to the difference between Apple and Alibaba. As engaging as it is illuminating, this is a book that stands to profoundly enrich our understanding of ourselves and of our world.
