Hi all:
I have a good friend who moved to Boston from China in 2007. She is now married to an American and is raising two kids in the US. She's serious person who is very intellectually curious. She's been reading lots of books while recovering from an illness. I'd like to suggest some books to her that would give her some idea of what it was like to grow up in the US when Reagan was president or during the Clinton administration with the Monica Lewinski scandals. Bonus points for books that discuss Los Angeles, San Francisco, or the District of Columbia. Currently she's reading Gender Trouble by Judith Butler and she has enjoyed Willa Cather novels. Thanks!
