Generations of Japanese Americans merge with Jane Austen’s characters in these lively stories, pairing uniquely American Histories with reimagined classics.

In these buoyant & inventive stories, Karen Tei Yamashita transfers
classic tales across boundaries & questions what an inheritance—familial, cultural, emotional, artistic—really means. In a California of the sixties & 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,
& station wagons, not horse-drawn carriages, are the preferred mode
of transit. The stories of traversing class, race, & gender leap
into our modern world with wit & humor.
