b'Hua Hsu writes for The New Yorker and is the author of A Floating Chinaman: Fantasy and Failure Across the Pacific.\\n\\n \\u201cI remember, as a kid, my dad telling me that when he moved to the United States he subscribed to The New Yorker, and then he canceled it after a month because he had no idea what any of it was about. You know, at the time, it certainly wasn\\u2019t a magazine for a Chinese immigrant fresh off the boat\\u2014or off the plane, rather\\u2014in the early 70s. And I always think about that. I always think, \\u2018I want my dad to understand even though he\\u2019s not that interested in Dr.Dre.\\u2019 I still think, \\u2018I want him to be able to glean something from this.\\u2019\\u201d\\n\\nThanks to MailChimp, Texture, and Squarespace for sponsoring this week\'s episode.\\n@huahsu\\nhuascene.com\\nHsu on Longform\\n[03:45] A Floating Chinaman: Fantasy and Failure Across the Pacific (Harvard University Press \\u2022 2016)\\n[04:00] The Good Earth (Pearl S.
