false 4497311 1 Asian-Australians have often been written about by outsiders, as outsiders. In this collection, compiled by award-winning author Alice Pung, they tell their own stories with verve, courage and a large dose of humour. Here are tales of leaving home, falling in love, coming out and finding one's feet. A young Cindy Pan vows to win every single category of Nobel Prize. Tony Ayres blows a kiss to a skinhead and lives to tell the tale. Benjamin Law has a close encounter with some angry Australian fauna, and Kylie Kwong makes a moving pilgrimage to her great-grandfather's Chinese village. Here are well-known authors and exciting new voices, spanning several generations and drawn from all over Australia. In sharing their stories, they show us what it is really like to grow up Asian, and Australian. Including: Shaun Tan, Jenny Kee, Annette Shun Wah, Anh Do, Khoa Do, John So, Simone Lazaroo, Christopher Cyrill, Jason Yat-Sen Li, Sunil Badami, Quan Yeomans, Caroline Tran, Tom Cho, Vanessa Woods and many more... 4546282 2 6 2008 Growing Up Asian in Australia total:7|5:0|4:5|3:1|2:1|1:0| 7 25 16 4 4 0 false false Mon Sep 08 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Aug 31 23:38:37 -0700 2008 Mon Sep 08 01:03:38 -0700 2008 more...]]> 2 0 false false Thu Nov 20 18:33:45 -0800 2008 Thu Nov 20 18:34:43 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Sun Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Nov 12 03:58:53 -0800 2008 Wed Nov 12 04:04:09 -0800 2008
