Reviews
"Dazzling. An extraordinarily inventive collection of short stories that takes us from Japan to Brazil to the fractured heart of suburban postwar Japanese America. Whether she is riffing on Jane Austen, channeling Jorge Luis Borges, or meditating on Marie Kondo, Yamashita is a brilliant and often subversive storyteller in superb command of her craft."--Julie Otsuka Praise for Karen Tei Yamashita Finalist for the National Book Award for Fiction "This powerful, deeply felt, and impeccably researched fiction is irresistibly evocative and overwhelming in every sense."--Publishers Weekly "Immensely entertaining."--Newsday "Shaped and voiced with literary flair, this is clearly a book Yamashita felt compelled to write, and her sense of purpose makes this historical excavation feel deeply personal."--Kirkus "Yamashita incorporates satire and the surreal in prose that is playful yet knowing, fierce yet mournful."--San Francisco Chronicle, "An elegantly written, wryly affectionate mashup of Jane Austen and the Japanese immigrant experience. . . . Yamashita's reimagining of Austen is sympathetic and funny--and as on target as the movie Clueless." --Kirkus, starred review "Karen Tei Yamashita is one of America's great unsung geniuses . . . Here she's mapped a series of stories onto the plots of Jane Austen novels, telling the tales of Japanese immigrants to the United States through the lens of their shared themes: inheritance, marriage, familial heritage. Yamashita is writing some of her finest stories yet." --Literary Hub "A dynamic collection. . . . Yamashita reconsiders canonical works, questions cultural inheritance, and experiments with genre and form." --The Millions "Dazzling. An extraordinarily inventive collection of short stories that takes us from Japan to Brazil to the fractured heart of suburban postwar Japanese America. Whether she is riffing on Jane Austen, channeling Jorge Luis Borges, or meditating on Marie Kondo, Yamashita is a brilliant and often subversive storyteller in superb command of her craft."--Julie Otsuka "Through vignettes, recipes, and correspondence, master writer Karen Tei Yamashita takes us through the rabbit hole of Japanese America--in particular, her hometown of Gardena, California, where an ethnic community culturally transformed a middle-class bedroom town. Part Ozu meditation of everyday life, part modern folk tale with colorful characters like a truth-telling dental hygienist, Sansei and Sensibility offers a unique and necessary perspective of what it means to be the aging grandchild of Asian immigrants, wondering what you will leave behind for the next generation. As in all of her books, Yamashita deconstructs form and genre to create a work that both delights and challenges" --Naomi Hirahara, Edgar Award-winning author of Snakeskin Shamisen and Hiroshima Boy "This capacious collection is witty, sharp--funny at times, angry at times--always amazing, and never, never dull. I think Jane Austen would be surprised, but delighted. I surely am." --Karen Joy Fowler Praise for Karen Tei Yamashita Finalist for the National Book Award for Fiction "This powerful, deeply felt, and impeccably researched fiction is irresistibly evocative and overwhelming in every sense."--Publishers Weekly "Immensely entertaining."--Newsday "Shaped and voiced with literary flair, this is clearly a book Yamashita felt compelled to write, and her sense of purpose makes this historical excavation feel deeply personal."--Kirkus "Yamashita incorporates satire and the surreal in prose that is playful yet knowing, fierce yet mournful."--San Francisco Chronicle, Praise for Karen Tei Yamashita "Fiercely satirical. . . . Yamashita presents [an] intricate plot with mordant wit." --New York Times Book Review "A stunner. . . . An exquisite mystery novel. But this is a novel of dystopia and apocalypse; the mystery concerns the tragic flaws of human nature." --Library Journal, starred review "Yamashita handles her eccentrics and the setting of their adventures with panache. David Foster Wallace meets Gabriel García Márquez." --Publishers Weekly "With a subtle ominousness, Yamashita sets up her hopeful, prideful characters--and, in the process, the entire genre of pioneer lit--for a fall." --Village Voice "Shaped and voiced with literary flair, this is clearly a book Yamashita felt compelled to write, and her sense of purpose makes this historical excavation feel deeply personal." --Kirkus, "Dazzling.

Synopsis
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. In a California of the sixties and seventies, characters examine the contents of deceased relatives' freezers, tape-record high school locker-room chatter, or collect a community's gossip while cleaning the teeth of its inhabitants. Mr. Darcy is the captain of the football team, Mansfield Park materializes in a suburb of L.A., bake sales replace ballroom dances, and station wagons, not horse-drawn carriages, are the preferred mode of transit. The stories of traversing class, race, and gender leap into our modern world with and humor., 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.

Mr. Darcy is the captain of the football team, Mansfield Park materializes in a suburb of L.A., bake sales replace ballroom dances, and station wagons, not horse-drawn carriages, are the preferred mode of transit. The stories of traversing class, race, and gender leap into our modern world with and humor., In these buoyant and inventive stories, Japanese Americans shift the boundaries of Jane Austen's classic tales, questioning what inheritance--familial, cultural, artistic--really means. In '60s California and beyond, a woman examines the contents of her dead aunt's freezer, Mr. Darcy is captain of the football team, a dental hygienist collects a community's gossip while cleaning his neighbors' teeth, and station wagons, not horse-drawn carriages, are the transit of the day. These narratives that traverse class, race, and gender leap into our modern world with Yamashita's signature wit and humor., Generations of Japanese Americans merge with Jane Austen's characters in these lively stories, pairing uniquely American histories with reimagined classics.
