01 May / Stealing Buddha’s Dinner: A Memoir by Bich Minh Nguyen [in Bloomsbury Review]
Using food as an engaging trope to tell her poignant story – from Pringles to Big Macs to Bubble Yum and Little Debbies – Nguyen takes the reader on a vicarious munching session, recounting her experiences as a young Vietnamese transplant trying to find her way and fit into the Midwest landscape of Grand Rapids, Michigan.
