《American Knees》是一部描寫當代亞裔美國人生活經驗的小說，以幽默而敏銳的筆觸，探討種族、愛情、自我認同與文化刻板印象之間的張力。故事圍繞男主角 Raymond Ding，一位自認政治正確、卻又帶著諷刺幽默感的亞裔男子，與報社攝影記者 Aurora Crane 之間時而親密、時而疏離的情感關係展開。隨著兩人的相遇與分合，小說穿插呈現多元族群社會中的日常互動、誤解與慾望，也細緻描繪亞裔男性在情感與社會期待中的矛盾處境。作者刻意顛覆「沉默、順從」的亞裔形象，塑造一群性格鮮明、充滿行動力的女性角色，使作品在輕快節奏中蘊含深刻反思。本書文字風格當代、坦率而富節奏感，既犀利又溫柔，被視為亞裔美國文學中兼具娛樂性與文化批判力的重要作品。"I cracked up reading Shawn Wong's witty, tender, wise, and sexy new novel. His lovable but ambivalent protagonist collides memorably with a cast of female characters who are a welcome change from the shrinking violets and silent martyrs we've come to expect from 'ethnic' literature. American Knees is contemporary to the bone - a highly entertaining, deftly written, provocative and moving work of fiction." -- Jessica Hagedorn, author of DogeatersShawn Wong is the author of the award-winning novel Homebase and an editor of several anthologies of Asian American literature, including Aiiieeeee! and The Big Aiiieeeee!
