Why read it?

1 author picked Homecoming as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Okay, order me two Taiwanese dishes: Beef Noodle Soup and a pork belly bun, and I’ll be your friend. Taiwanese food is why I gravitated to the book "Homecoming" by Eddie Huang, a celebrity Taiwanese-American chef and hilarious author.

The story revolves around Huang’s return to his ancestral homeland, Taiwan, during the COVID-19 pandemic, as he seeks to reconnect with his heritage and culture. I accompanied Huang on a comedic and insightful journey filled with conflicting emotions that offered reflections on the immigrant experience in a globalized world.
