Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. 200 pages. Waylaid is the story of a Chinese American boy who struggles to grow up in th e grip of an overcharged sexual environment. With a daily routine that involves renting out rooms to johns and hookers at his parents' sleazy hotel, the narrato r loses his grip on concepts of friendship, family and childhood. As he pursues his all-consuming quest to lose his virginity, issues of race, class and sex cri pple his sense of self-worth. It is a story told with a Gen-X-style bleak humor that doesn't pander to conventional notions of immigrant narrative. Waylaid does n't cut a wide swath through Asian American literature. It is a switchblade in t he gut to stories of over-achievement and success in America that ignore the hum an cost. Editorial Reviews From Booklist *Starred Review* The unnamed narrator of Lin's brilliant debut is the 12-year-old son of Taiwanese immigrant parents who own a rundown motel on the New Jersey coast. Catering to impecunious old men in the winter, to higher-paying Bennys (stands for Bayonne, Elizabeth, Newark, and New York--these customers' hometowns) in the summer, and to hookers' johns y ear-round, it is no place to grow up in, but it is what his parents have chosen to succeed in, in America. The boy works the front desk and does chores whenever he isn't in school or asleep. Newly postpubescent, big for his age, and egged o n by a friendly Benny (Girls were all over me when I was like eight, he boasts), the boy makes getting laid his prime objective between Benny seasons. As he pro gresses toward his goal, Lin carefully reveals, through him, what making it in A merica can entail for even bright, ambitious newcomers. Awash in a sea of stupid ity and venality, the boy, neither stupid nor venal, seems bent on more than hau.…

Zustand: FINE. First printing, a trade paperback original. A collection of poetry and prose by this celebrated Filipino American writer, edited by Eileen Tabios and with a foreword by Jessica Hagedorn. In the 1940s and 50s, Villa's writings earned him prizes, fellowships, and praise from such writers as e. e. cummings, W. H. Auden, and more. Named a National Artist in the Philippines where he was born, Villa remains largely unknown here in the United States, where his reputation among the elite of modernist experimental poets was made. This book "both recovers and rediscovers the work of this fierce iconoclast for a new generation. Included are reprints of his major poems and representatives from each of his significant experiments, as well as short stories, critical work, and paintings. A critical component of the book are essays by contemporary Filipino and Filipino American writers including: Luis Cabalquinto, Nick Carbo, Jonathan Chua, Luis Francia, Nick Joaquin, E. San Juan, and Alfred Yuson." Foreword by Jessica Hagedorn. An interesting association copy INSCRIBED on the title page by his son Randy (Randall) Villa "from the son of a great poet!" and scarce thus. Includes frontispiece portrait, endnotes, works cited, notes on the contributors, Landmarks and bibliography, index to the poems. 255 pp. Very near fine in illustrated wrappers.…
