Reading

The first time I read a story that included a mixed race Asian/mira (I use "mira" for short, instead of hapa, ever since I read this article) character, I felt like someone had just given me a sip of something I always needed to survive, but didn't know existed. I've been an insatiable bookworm since before I can remember. It wasn't until I opened "Mixed: An Anthology of Short Stories on the Multiracial Experience" that I realized I had been searching for something all these years: characters who shared my mixed-ness.

I'm compiling a list of books written by or about mirasians like us. I really encourage you to pick one up--especially the above mentioned "Mixed," edited by Chandra Prasad.
