"Chellis Ying’s ‘Banana and Eggs,’ the latter an account of a Chinese- American’s tough initiation in the land of her ancestors, where her conflicted feeling of belonging fully to neither America nor China boil to the surface. There are many such pieces on the bicultural dilemma, but very few are as seamlessly written and deeply felt as Ying’s."
