INSCRIPTION FROM FRED WAH on title page; Clean, tight, unmarked; slight wear to lower front corner; otherwise absolute minimal wear; Here we enter the Diamond Grill, in 1951, the newest and most modern Chinese cafe in Nelson where Fred Wah serves up the story of his hyphenated identity, the sweet and the sour in tasty mouth-watering slices. Wah's father was a Canadian-born Chinese-Scots-Irishman raised in China; his mother is a Swedish-born Canadian from Swift Current. Wah senior ran the Diamond Grill, where Fred, the future writer and poet grew up, white enough to "pass", yet marked for life by a foreign name and a taste for foong cheng and lok bok.
Very Good
