Masks, Origins, and Copies in Chang-Rae Lee’s Native Speaker
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Published at a time when the Los Angeles Riots remained fresh in America’s mind, Chang-Rae Lee’s novel, Native Speaker, skyrocketed to critical acclaim. Kim’s paper explores how Native Speaker navigates the implications of belonging and control over a narrative. This research focuses on how the narration of a traumatic moment can become an entry point for understanding the narrator’s agency, and what such readings might illuminate in transnational literatures.
