Read superb British Chinese Short Stories

This book was first published in 1997 (symbolic?) and contains a superb collection of 16 short stories that serve up slices of British Chinese culture.

If you’re British Chinese and grew up in the UK, you’ll easily recognise the scenarios that the diverse authors have placed their characters in. In fact, the book will probably reach out to anyone who has experienced the meeting of two (or more) cultures and offers itself as a thoroughly entertaining read.

I bought a copy when Dim Sum was first published, and only recently stumbled upon it again when going through my things. I didn’t hesitate to post about this, as to me, the book stands as a valuable record of the British Chinese cultural experience.

“Dim Sum will open your mind and open your eyes to a new vision, a new voice of the British Chinese.” David Yip – British Chinese actor, best known for the lead role in the 1981 BBC drama The Chinese Detective
