Frank Chin, Jeffery Paul Chan, Lawson Fusao Inada, and Shawn Wong are the editors of Aiiieeeee! and The Big Aiiieeeee! As members of the Combined Asian Resources Project (CARP), they were instrumental in rediscovering many previously underappreciated works, including America Is in the Heart, No-No Boy, Nisei Daughter, and other classics. Tara Fickle is assistant professor of English at the University of Oregon.
"Illuminates areas of darkness in the hidden experiences of a people who have been little more than exotic figments of someone else's imagination." (New York Times Book Review) "A manifesto for an Asian American renaissance!" (Partisan Review) "That 'whole voice' which speaks so eloquently in Aiiieeeee! Is an amazingly versatile voice. It is a voice that makes one believe in writing again. . . . I herald it with rejoicing." (Rolling Stone) "When it comes to Asian American fiction...you can't talk about the genre without talking about Aiiieeeee!...the first of its kind and a "key book" that reintroduced forgotten texts and writers when it was first published." (New York Magazine)
