Show #228 | Guest: Wesley Yang | Show Summary: From the \u201cTiger Mother\u201d to take-out, Asian-American culture is so deeply entrenched in our understanding of the American fabric, we sometimes don\u2019t know we\u2019re talking about it when we\u2019re talking about.     Collecting a decade\u2019s worth of essays, from his award-winning analysis of the Virginia Tech murderer to his cult classic looks at mandarin zombies, pickup artists, and immigrant strivers, Wesley Yang\u2019s highly anticipated new book, The Souls of Yellow Folk is a watershed of engaging and provocative new perspectives on what it truly means to have and hold an American Dream.
