880 . ‡6520-00/$1 ‡a"Comprised of short essays, or field notes, Heart Eater: A Memoir of Immigration, Belonging, and How We Find Ourselves in Language traces 신 선 영 Sun Yung Shin's journey from her childhood as a nameless, abandoned nine-month-old baby in Seoul, South Korea to an award-winning author. Raised as a Korean immigrant by a white Christian family in the American Midwest, 신 선 영 Sun Yung Shin paid close attention to the power of words--especially those related to race, nation, and kinship. Through these meaningful encounters, Shin developed into a writer enthralled with language's capacity to imagine, manifest, connect, and even heal. Through the lens of language and immigration, Heart Eater explores the question that has obsessed Shin since childhood: 'What does it mean to be American?'" - ‡cProvided by the publisher
