This book examines how Asian American authors since 1945 have
deployed the stereotype of Asian American inscrutability in order
to re-examine and debunk the stereotype in various ways. By paying
special attention to what narrative theorists have regarded as one
of the most extraordinary aspects of fiction-its ability to give
(or else deny) readers a remarkably detailed knowledge of the inner
lives of their characters-this book explores deeply and
systematically the specific ways Asian American narratives
attribute inscrutable minds to Asian American characters, situating
them at various points along a spectrum stretching between alterity
and empathy. Ultimately, the book reveals the link between
narrative form and larger cultural issues associated with the
representation of Asian American minds, and how a nuanced
investigation of narrative form can yield insights into the
sociocultural embeddedness of Asian American literature under the
case studies-insights that would not be available if such formal
questions were by passed.
