WIth the latest incident of Virginia Tech , i am sure the curiosity of Amrican-Korean family increases ....The book should sell
Comment Link
I don’t think that the incident of Virginia Tech would instigate people so as to dive into the life history of American-Korean family, it has been seen that novels with autobiographical element has always been a success, for instance Mohja Kahf’s The Girl in the Tangerine Scarf was too sold like hot cakes. In here, plot revolves around a female protagonist who is from Syria but settled in the American Midwest and it moved in the social settings of 1970s.
Pooja ,
There is a difference between instigate and curiosity. What i was refering about was the \”curiosity\” aspect.
The recent shoot out by Cho Seung-Hui has made the Americans curious about Koreans and Asians.
We live in a world where comparison are made. Shortly after Cho Seung-Hui shot the students media started comparing his posted pictures with that of a movie ( Check Link http://www.libertyfilmfestival.com/libertas/?p=4973 )
The book in itself maybe exciting and self promoting,but all I wanted to convey was that the recent accident would add more \”curiosity\”.
Have you ever wondered why the movie \”Coolie\” was a super Hit movie ,though it did not deserve to be one..... its connection with Amitabhs accident

Thanx for telling me the difference between instigation and curiosity, and also for making me aware why a film called ‘Coolie’ was a ‘super hit’ :-)
Ma\’m Pooja ,
Going by your writing i do understand you are a good writer. I have been following your blog as well and that has been a learning experience.
Your reply is something i am unable to decide between \” A Genuine one or a sarcasm\”....but whatever it is , all i would say is that I am not the most learned and I may try to find more reason and maybe spend some time the way you think....
Maybe i stand to be corrected....You may be right#postcomment
