Clay Walls, Kim Ronyoung, 1987, United States,, NOVEL

"...Clay Walls begins to fill that gap, giving a clear-eyed view of two generations of Korean-Americans in pre- and post- World War II Los Angeles. The novel starts with recently immigrated Haesu, who is being "taught" how to clean a toilet by Mrs. Randolph: Haesu "did not know the English equivalent for 'low woman' but she did know how to say, 'I quit' and later said it to Mrs. Randolph."..."
