Rekdal, hailing from Chinese and Norwegian ancestry explores the meaning and substance of identity. She struggles with the reality of being a stranger among her own and in her own land. To her Chinese friends, she is not a “real†Chinese. To her American and European friends, she is not a “real†American. She takes a journey through Asia, hoping to solidify her personal identification, but finds that it only further complicates it. In Taipei, Taiwan, she shuns her mother from buying the trendy white cotton masks in order to fit in with the Taiwanese. For, to do so would compromise her true self and quite literally, mask their identity. Rekdal covers her mouth around the Chinese women, too embarrassed to admit her lack of knowledge in speaking Chinese. Even with those who look the most like her, she comes to the realization that “we do not live here. We are only visitors.â€In her poetic and charmingly sarcastic way, she grapples with what it means to belong, with what it means to “fit in.†She must find her place even though every “place†rejects her. Her words, each chapter could be a lyrical poem, capture the reader’s attention and emotion. Rekdal brings them on a journey of identity crisis and, as beautifully and swaying as her form and diction, shows them the sometimes turbulent, but remarkable process in finding one’s self. Her hurt, pain, joy, happiness, confusion, frustration, love, and finally recognition and acceptance bleed through the pages and into the readers’ heart. Rekdal’s The Night My Mother Met Bruce Lee, in today’s political and social climate of deciding who and who doesn’t belong, is a very pertinent masterpiece.
Well, you have BOTH Ha Jin AND Arthur Golden praising it on the back cover--what can you expect? (I like one and not the other). While the cover made me think that this was going to be a "wacky," irreverent account by a young, half-Chinese woman, the book is instead an extremely well-written, thought-provoking colletion of essays. Rekdal is a poet, and it shows in her evocative descriptions, in her lyrical passages, in an effortlessly beautiful line. Rekdal pulls it off without being narcisstic or excessively introspective; the book succeeds brilliantly. Though the essay's topics are somewhat disjointed--they go from America to Korea to China to childhood, etc--the disconnected structure seems to be part of the point: as the subtitle suggests, these are "observations on not fitting in." I liked her juxtaposition of the uncanny, the frustrating, the disappointing things along with the beautiful, the personal, the "mini-epiphanic" aspects.And yes, she is also very witty. The humor is very sharp. I found myself laughing hysterically at an Elvis reference and I normally don't find him amusing. Finally, as someone who also spent a year in a small city in Korea, I was delighted that she related experiences that I shared myself when I taught high school students in South Korea.
There are always stereotypes to be stripped down, aren't there?Rekdal's themes (race, how Americans are perceived overseas, how Americans perceive each other) make you think, but her writing won't make you struggle. Her essays, built around episodes of her life, are sad, funny, entertaining and insightful.An excellent book. Highly recommended. I wish I could teach a course called "Race in America" just so I could get more people to read this book.
This highly original book is refreshing for its insights into a topic that has been discussed inumerable times in the news media. Ms Rekdal reflects upon mother/daughter relationships, racial and sociological problems, all without preachiness.
Ms. Rekdal's numerous observations are personal and touching. Many Americans have struggled with an identity crisis. I understand fully the crushing power of long and brutal silences mentioned in the text. I am so glad that Ms. Rekdal is not silent at all.
Very dull and boring.
