	Louie - new and used books (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		Louie serves up tired themes--generation gap, Asian-American masculinity and impotence, interracial romance and the seduction of the American Dream--in absurd and sometimes funny slapstick that would be great in a sitcom.
		Louie dazzlingly captures the bitter ironies of Asian-American life, but it is the scenes between father and son and, eventaully, the scenes between Sterling and his sons, that expose the most complex realities of Chinese-American identity.
		David Wong Louie whips up a kind of reverse feast in his masterful first novel, beginning with a frothy comic dessert and egging us on to the main course, a heartbreaking tragedy about fathers and sons, dashed hopes and missed opportunities for love.

		David Wong Louie has written an exceptionally fine novel about our misconceptions of love and the willful ignorance we wear like armor against knowledge that can and will hurt us.
		The shift into Genius's POV later in the book is a move that a lesser writer would've ruined his novel with, but Louie pulls it off with flair and heart, giving voice to a generation of fathers who might not have known what to say and how to say it.
		David Wong Louie tells the story of what happens after that point, and provides a touching portrayal of what many first/second generation Asian Americans must go through in the multiple stages - and generations - of their lives.

	SWEET AND SOUR / Chinese American chef's travails serve as rich family saga
		David Wong Louie whips up a kind of reverse feast in his masterful first novel, ``The Barbarians Are Coming,'' beginning with a frothy comic dessert and egging us on to the main course, a heartbreaking tragedy about fathers and sons, dashed hopes and missed opportunities for love.
		As Louie gradually replaces the comic mode of the book's early pages with a more serious study of Sterling's paralyzing inner turmoil, he all but turns the operative conceit upside down, leading us to a pivotal flashback to Genius' early days in the United States.
		Louie, author of the story collection ``Pangs of Love,'' has crafted a mature, richly characterized family saga whose universal themes take it far beyond the category of ethnic fiction.

	BkLouie (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		David Wong Louie gained critical acclaim with his 1991 short story collection Pangs of Love, which won the Los Angeles Times Book Review First Fiction Award and was praised by Carolyn See as having "broken the silence of Chinese men in America."
		The Barbarians Are Coming deepens Louie's exploration of this theme through the perspective of 26-year-old Sterling Lung, American-born son of Chinese immigrant parents, as he struggles with conflicting desires to be a good son, define his future, fulfill his ambitions, and accept himself.
		Presenting Sterling as an alien in both the world of his family and the one he now inhabits, Louie intertwines absurdity with serious contemporary themes as the novel heads toward its conclusion, combining a dead-on sense of dark comedy and a deep understanding of the heart.

	Book Review: Pangs Of Love
		David Wong Louie's stories focus on Chinese-American characters and their individual feelings of desperation and alienation.
		Yet despite the sad issues behind his work, I think Louie conveys an innate optimism in describing and embracing personal problems that have a great deal of universality.
		David Wong Louie has somehow combined both the comedic and the heart-rending in Pangs of Love.

	Criticism: An impossible necessity: translation and the recreation of linguistic and cultural identities in ...
		As a symbolic trope in these texts, however, "translation" evokes the concept of a crossing of borders, a permeation of barriers erected between what seem to be separate and disjunctive cultural and linguistic entities.
		For Louie, Ng, and Kingston, then, translation as trope suggests the conflicted necessities of both compromise and bridging, yet also more than this.
		In the works of Louie, Ng, and Kingston, the translator does the impossible, articulating a unique cultural and linguistic formulation in which the "Ethnic" and the "American" have permeated each other, a cultural and linguistic formulation that is distinctly Chinese American.(4)

	Powell's Books - The Barbarians Are Coming by David Wong Louie
		A mature, richly characterized family saga whose universal themes take it far beyond the category of ethnic fiction.
		Louie ranks with the best of a new generation of American novelists...funny as Gish Jen [and]...eloquent as Chang-rae Lee.
		In a tale that alternates between fl comedy and out-and-out slapstick, David Wong Louie explores the painful alienation between a Chinese-American man and his immigrant father--a conflict that is deepened by the son's decision to become a chef instead of a doctor.
