Some of the Most Influential Asian American Literature of All Time

"This post was originally going to be called "The Most Influential Asian American Literature of All Time" but who on earth could write that post? Instead, I've added the qualifier "some of" as a subtle acknowledgment that there is simply no way to get all the greats of Asian American literature in a single post. It would be NEVERENDING. Seriously, readers, there's just too much good stuff out there. (And yes, I know you already know that!)"
