Struggling to support his studies, he travels throughout the United States and Canada, becoming by turns a traveling salesman, a domestic worker, and a farmer, and observing along the way the idealism, greed, and shifting values of the industrializing twentieth century. Part picaresque adventure, part shrewd social commentary, East Goes West casts a sharply satirical eye on the demands and perils of assimilation. It is a masterpiece not only of Asian American literature but also of American literature\"--\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52929884029237,"sku":"EB_LI0700_N04-03_AD","price":129.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0971\/7773\/1381\/files\/9780143136286-1_9a649519-7624-4b2a-9e42-5b3b0cd0b4a5.jpg?v=1789701142","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.ae\/ar\/products\/9780143136286","provider":"Books Kinokuniya UAE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
