	Leonard Chang - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Leonard Chang is a Korean-American writer of short stories and novels.
		Chang's work is unusual in the canon of Asian American literature because of the level of assimilation many of his Korean American characters have achieved.
		Chang's experiments in genre fiction is related to this shift, since the stories revolve around solving a mystery or crime, and despite the fact that the protagonist is Korean American, the debt here is more to Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett, and Ross Macdonald than to Maxine Hong Kingston, Amy Tan or Richard E. Kim.

		Chang achieves this without relying on clunky expository passages, and even better, he does little to spoil the first installment's plot.
		At this point Chang introduces what would seem to be the book's only concession to noir conventions, the femme fatale, embodied here in the form of an attractive, young ex-raver named Serena.

		In his first novel, Chang ably captures the dislocation rational people experience when faced with violence, but his attempts to maintain a balanced point of view intrude and read like clumsy polemics.
		Perhaps in his next novel, Chang will attend more to the needs of his story and less to the demands of political correctness.
		With a clear, meticulous literary voice, Chang describes this setting with a stylistic candor; bringing to the fore themes of the Asian "American-dream", race, hate and class struggle.
