Rachel Khong's new novel explores who gets to be 'Real Americans'
Podcast: NPR's Book of the DayPublished On: Mon May 13 2024
Description: Real Americans, the new novel by Rachel Khong, spans generations and decades within a family to understand the ongoing struggle to make sense of race, class and identity in the United States. Like with any family story, there are secrets and confrontations and difficult conversations, too; that desire to fill in the gaps about where we come from and how it has shaped our lineage is at the center of today's interview with Khong and NPR's Juana Summers.
