Episode 18 -- Treacherous Feet, Bubble Tea, and PERFECT STRANGERS: Gene Yang’s AMERICAN BORN CHINESE

The Spoilers are back after a bit of a hiatus, and man, do we have an episode for you. In our triumphant return to the mics, we take up Gene Yang's sprawling graphic novel, AMERICAN BORN CHINESE. This colorful, complex feat of storytelling had us all over the place -- from the Google Empire to classic 80s sitcoms to the Baby Jesus. We spend a good deal of time trying to figure the whole book out, and in the end I think we gain a pretty good handle on why so many people love it so much. It's all about breaking down walls and being who you were meant to be. What's more important than that? Big thanks to friend of the show, Maquelle Huntley, for recommending it to us!
