Stealing Buddha's dinner : a memoir / / Bich Minh Nguyen.   Author:  Nguyen, Bich Minh. Title:  Stealing Buddha's dinner : a memoir / / Bich Minh Nguyen. Publisher:  New York, N.Y. : Penguin Books, 2008. Description:  256 p. : ill ; 20 cm. Notes:  "Beginning with her family's harrowing migration out of Saigon in 1975, this book follows Bich Nguyen as she comes of age in the pre-PC-era Midwest. Filled with a rapacious hunger for American identity, Nguyen's desire to belong transmutes into a passion for American food. This book is a unique vision of the immigrant experience and a lyrical ode to how identity is often shaped by the things we long for."--Back cover. Subject:  Nguyen, Bich Minh -- Childhood and youth.
