This book recommendation is on Sansei and Sensibility by Karen Tei Yamashita. From the cover: “In these buoyant and inventive stories, Karen Tei Yamashita transfers classic tales across boundaries, and questions what an inheritance - familial, cultural, emotional, artistic - really means…These stories of traversing class, race, and gender leap into our modern world with wit and humor.”
