FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
Question: Why would you write a book that's not true?
My Answer: This book is a didactic novel, aka literary fiction. But I know what you mean. I
wrote this book based on my cognizance and the lives of others, including my own life. There
are people who wouldn't agree with what I say just like I wouldn't agree with what they say.

Question: Why did you write this book?
My Answer: The suicide rate for Asian Americans is astronomically higher than Caucasians,
African Americans, and Latin Americans. In fact, Asian Americans have the highest suicide
rate among women. Moreover, two million women attempt suicide in China every year, with
many more not counted due to saving face. This needs to change, and I believe my book is
conducive as a start for that change. I see too many Asian children indoctrinated and
conditioned like overachieving robots, here in the United States and in Asia. This won't stop
until we all work together, as I have luminously delineated in the last chapter (Détente) of my
book.
Question: Not all Asians are like this so why would you write about this stuff?
My Answer: Please read the introductory section of my book, A NOTE TO THE READER,
as I have stated my position with luminous clarity.
Question: Why are you a racist?
My Answer: I'm an Asian American, born and raised in New York City, the largest
multicultural and multi-diverse city in the world. My heroes include John Lennon, Mahatma
Gandhi, and Martin Luther King, Jr. I don't think racists would have those aforementioned
heroes. I tell it like it is and if you don't like it, then write a book— that's what I did.
