Summary:
"Fresh Off the Boat was Huang's memoir of growing up in his wild
family
as a first-generation Chinese-American. A rejection of the typical narrative of assimilation, it was a rallying cry for cultural integrity. But as he entered adulthood (of sorts) he began to wonder just how authentic his Chinese identity really was, a dilemma that grew more acute as he contemplated proposing marriage to his all-American (well, all-Italian-American) girlfriend. So he enlisted his brothers Emery and Evan and returned to the land his ancestors had abandoned. His immediate goal was to sample the best
food
in
China
, from four-star restaurants in Shanghai to sidewalk vendors in Chengdu, and open his own stand to see if his
food
stood up to Chinese tastes - but his deeper goal was to reconnect with his homeland, repair his frayed
family
relationships, decide whether to marry his American girlfriend, and to find meaning in his life. What starts out as a book about
food
widens into a powerful story about
love
and
family
. Eddie Huang is the owner of Baohaus, a restaurant in New York City. His earlier memoir, Fresh off the Boat, has been made into an ABC Television sitcom."--Provided by publisher.
