AMERICAN BORN CHINESE (Gene Yang)

Perhaps the most highly acclaimed graphic novel released in 2006. First graphic novel to be nominated for the National Book Award (it placed second). First graphic novel to win the American Library Association Award. Currently nominated for the Reuben Award in the Comic Book category. You don't have to be Asian-American to appreciate this work-- it's a great read, period. Check it out! Update: Winner of the 2007 Eisner Award for Best Graphic Album!
