Just what we need: another fugly white guy writing about his yellow fever fantasy of banging a young Asian girl who's built like a boy. There's so many misogynistic and racist cliches in there I don't know where to start.

This review makes me want to read the novel because I believe that the future will not be more prosperous, and Super Sad True Love story sounds like an entertaining version of what American will be like a few generations from now.

Also, I trust Paul as a book reviewer.

Just what we need: Another anti-American liberal bullshit fantasy about America's supposed decline.

Yeah, American ain't always pretty. You don't get a lollipop for being the next in a long line of people hating on America. But the US is still the closest thing to a stable center this crazy world has, and it's a far better center than most nations would be.

Imagine China as the new world power. No political freedom, heavily-polluting unregulated industry, and rising nationalism. Creepy as all hell, isn't it?

Nice reading....I think that this article about it says quite a bit.

(still)grrl, what part of "it's ok for a white person and an asian person to like each other" did you not get?

"Imagine China as the new world power. No political freedom, heavily-polluting unregulated industry, and rising nationalism. Creepy as all hell, isn't it?"

Checking people's citizenship status, the largest oil spill in history, and Tea Party rallies fit your description nicely.
