Melanie Goo couldn't have said it better when she said, It was tough picking out titles for a list signifying the cream of the crop when
there were so many great works released by Asian/Asian Americans this year. The number of narratives that relate to the Asian American
experience is expanding, showing that we don't all fall under that Model Asian stereotype.
What make these titles different from the rest is that they have made a lasting impression on me, and I continue to recall
their work for the impact it has made on me through its characters, story development, prose and emotions.
These works were chosen because of the eye-opening revelations it made about the world or communities where the issue at hand
is not given much press or attention.
These lists are all created by Jennifer and are by no means meant to present any official declarations of the year's best titles.
