The Chopsticks-Fork Principle: A Memoir and Manual
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
The Chopsticks-Fork Principle, A Memoir and Manual by Cathy Bao Bean is about how she and her husband, artist Bennett Bean, raised their son to be at least bicultural. The author relates how she, an immigrant from China, figured out how to be herself as well as raise a son whose father did things like paint the lawn.
The Chopsticks-Fork Principle will circulate as a cult classic because of this family's rare combinations and as a ?popular? listing because it deals with ordinary family issues in a practical way. The book is pure, it is heartfelt, it is important. You must know about her Menopausal Theory of Cooking and how to persuade the Canada geese to live somewhere else.
