So often I am terrified that Asian American works rely too much on our inherent exoticism, that we’d rather mythologize our ancestors than acknowledge their humanity. Pan’s The Astonishing Color of After is a pulsing tide of grief and wonder, chronicling half-Taiwanese protagonist Leigh’s struggle to understand her mother’s suicide. In the past decade – really, in my own little lifetime – I have seen contemporary Asian American literature evolve from brittle myths of otherness to richer montages spanning history, identity, self, and heritage.

To begin with, Odysseus displays signs of a war mentality, which gave him a desire to fight every mythical creature on his journey. ![]() Although Odysseus’s occasionally rash behavior and arrogant demeanor cause readers to question Odysseus’s priorities, his actions were actually the result of his lasting war mentality, the intervention of the gods, and his role as an epic hero in an epic poem. For a man favored by Athena for his cunning and metis, he made some reckless choices, causing many readers to wonder if his true intentions were to be remembered as a hero rather than get back to Ithaca. ![]() In many cases, Odysseus’s ego was the cause of this cycle of violence, such as when he angered a Cyclops and ate the cows of Helios.
