To anyone who’s around the San Francisco Bay Area a week on Wednesday, you may want to head to the Isotope – The Comic Book Lounge for this:
Pardon us while we gush, but if you’ve seen the advance reviews you’ll know we’re not alone in our complete and total devotion to First Second Books’ American Born Chinese. Trust us, people, it really is that damn good!
So it is with the great honor that the Isotope proudly presents a launch event celebration with Gene Yang and Lark Pein for one of the single best books we’ve read in a long, long time…
Having been lucky enough to read American Born Chinese, I can agree with the line above: It really is that good. Well worth picking up, and I’m sure this event will be equally worth attending.

Oh darn, and me living the whole continent away. American Born Chinese is definitely that good. I’ve read Yang’s earlier books, they were good, but with ABC he’s shown just how much he has grown as a storyteller. I hope lots of people attend and make the event a huge success.
