Postcards from Asia

A weblog with updates of my Asian travels and studies. I invite East West Center fellows, GPC colleagues, and other visitors to post on topics of interest in Asian studies.

Charlotte Sometimes: A Film by Eric Byler. After a break from this Asian-themed blog, I am glad to be back and to be able to say that the Asian-American literature course that I developed and taught as a graduate student at the University of Georgia was approved by my department chair to be taught as a special topics Asian-American literature course, so I am teaching it at GPC this term. In addition to reading various novels, we are watching some old and new Asian-American films as well. The next film we will be viewing in the course is Charlotte Sometimes, by director Eric Byler and starring Michael Idemoto, Jacqueline Kim, and Eugenia Yuan. Instead of posting in my web-course, I have asked my students to post their reactions to the film on this blog, so as the posts come in, read and enjoy.
