Gene Luen Yang writes and draws graphic novels about identity, family, culture and the stories people inherit from religion, folklore or popular media. American Born Chinese interweaves a Chinese American schoolboy, the Monkey King and a deliberately stereotyped sitcom figure before revealing how the strands connect. Boxers & Saints presents the Boxer Rebellion through two opposing young protagonists, while Dragon Hoops turns Yang's own experience following a school basketball team into graphic memoir. He has also written superhero comics including Superman Smashes the Klan. Yang's work is accessible, visually inventive and structurally thoughtful, fitting graphic novels, Asian American literature, historical comics and middle-grade or YA crossover reading.
