5.0 out of 5 stars Classic!, 24 Mar 2002
Truly original. There are no "oriental" stereotypes in this important book. It is purely Asian American. I'm sure it will be treasured throughtout the years. Eat a Bowl of Tea came out in 1961 and it is the first Chinese American novel set in Chinese America. That alone should motivate you to buy this book (it is also a satire on the bachelor societies in Chinatown, NY). It's a shame that Louis Chu is no longer with us, he could've authored more books -- "Wow, your mother!"
