Reviews

"Narcisi's engaging study places novels by women of color into conversation with one another and with the larger traditions that surround them to establish a reading method that promotes the idea of ""radical empathy"" as a basis for cultural exchange. Through perceptive analyses of texts by Celeste Ng, Maxine Hong Kingston, Toni Morrison, Jesmyn Ward, Sandra Cisneros, and Kali Fajardo-Anstine, Narcisi presents the idea of literary influence as a relation not only between author and author, but also author and reader. This book will appeal to all readers who care about U.S. multiculturalism and the powerful fiction it has produced.--Cyrus R.K. Patell"
