Thanks to everyone for all of their support for Kosher Chinese! Barnes & Noble has shortlisted the book as one of the three best non-fiction titles of 2011 for its Discover Great New Writers Award. Previous Discover authors include Frank McCourt, David Gutterson, Chang-rae Lee, Jennifer Egan, and many more. Flattering company, to say the least.
The winners of the award will be announced at a ceremony next month. I’ll be wearing a tie.
I am reading your book now, and love it. I have been thinking about teaching in China….but millipedes and dogs? Definitely put a damper on my enthusiasm. ; )
Ha! Well, the surprising food is easily avoided. Lots of yummy alternatives.
Like deer wine? LOL Just finished your book this morning…and I was sorry it had to end. I recommended it to friends on my Facebook page. Keep writing!
Thanks for the support!
Your book was so funny!!! My mom read it before me and was laughing constantly and she told me I had to read your book, it was hilarious!!
I loved the parts about your “handyman” and your funnily-named students xD
And the ending was a perfect ending, it was one of those that I read and I had to process it, but after thinking about it it made a lot of sense. It gave me something to think about. Thanks for writing such a great book!!
