- Synopsis
- "Although the multiculturalistic focus will seem trendy to some, this compilation demonstrates what a tangy stew simmers in the American melting pot. Once an accomplished Berlin journalist, Bernard Malamud's Jewish refugee is haunted by Nazi atrocities and "a terrible sense of useless tongue"; Mary Gordon's lame Irish American reinvents herself as a secretarial whiz to the exclusion of greenhorn friends; and upon his arrival in Florida, Kim Yong Ik's Korean student finds that a happy-go-lucky American soldier he had befriended at home is an impoverished alcoholic. The cultures represented here are disparate but the deeply felt experiences of alienation and assimilation are strikingly similar."-Reed Business Information, Inc
