The Bridgeport Public Library has created a book display containing a variety of books written by AAPI (Asian American Pacific Islander) authors for AAPI Heritage Month. A selection of titles is listed below.
Crying in H-Mart by Michelle Zauner is a #1 New York Times Bestseller and has been described as “an unforgettable memoir about family, food, grief, love, and growing up Korean American.”
The Best We Could Do by Thi Bui is a debut novel and national bestseller. It is an intimate and poignant graphic novel portraying one family's journey from war-torn Vietnam.
Love, Chai, and Other Four-Letter Words by Annika Sharma has been described as “a sweet story of finding love where you least expected to and a romp through New York City with fresh immigrant eyes.”
The Chosen and the Beautiful by Nghi Vo was an instant national bestseller and was chosen as the most anticipated book of 2021 by multiple organizations such as USA Today, Publishers Weekly, and Goodreads. This debut novel reinvents this classic of the American canon as a coming-of-age story full of magic, mystery, and introduces a major new literary voice.
Days of Distraction by Alexandra Chang is a debut novel that is a wry, tender portrait of a young woman, finally free to decide her own path, but unsure if she knows herself well enough to choose wisely.
You can find all of these great books and more available for checkout with your Bridgeport Public Library card.
