Gene Luen Yang:
I've been teaching American Born Chinese in my HS lit classes for years. A small group just worked with it, and I saw what I have always seen: students from a range of immigrant backgrounds -- this time Latino, Eastern European and Middle Eastern -- all strongly relate to the identity issues in the text. How has it felt to see this book resonate so strongly across ethnic groups, and did you anticipate this?
