It's the 1980's, and everyone in this witty and knowing novel is watching television, including visiting graduate students Tzu, Chen, and Wa. Seeing the essence of America in the TV images, they bombard their neighbor with questions like "What is the difference between Tide, Cheer and Biz?" and are seduced (like Chen) or appalled (like Wa) by it. But in a multiracial Cleveland, reality will prove as violent as television and as sensual, especially when Chen becomes involved with the beautiful, amoral Suzanne. The tragic result shows us a clash of cultures - and more. In glossy wraps, minor edgewear on the bottom front. 310 pages, there is a small mark from a marker on one of the first pages (no writing on the page), otherwise no marks or tears. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.
