American immigrant literature in immigrant literature

The so-called "immigrant literature" in the United States actually refers to the works published by foreign immigrants in English.

V Nabokov, the author of Lolita, is one of the most famous immigrant writers in America. His mother tongue is Russian, so it is not easy to write in English. However, Lolita, who appeals to both refined and popular tastes, is known as the star of American literary world. The other is J.Kosinski of Polish origin, who fled to the United States as a refugee during World War II, became famous for the English novel Painting Birds, and even served as the chairman of the American branch of International PEN. However, it was later revealed that although his imagination was extremely rich, his English level was insufficient, and the novel was written by hiring someone to catch a knife. After the secret was leaked, Cosinski was depressed and finally committed suicide.

Of course, the most famous writers in China are Tang Tingting and Amy Tan. The two of them not only have a huge readership, but also are highly praised by critics. But they are second-generation immigrants, born in America, and English is not a problem. Attention is the theme of their works. They write about their mothers and stories about traditional monsters in China. Amy Tan's new book, Saving the Drowning Fish, was very popular and immediately rose to the bestseller list. Critics say that Yang's content has been divorced from the circle set in China.

Indians are well-known among immigrant writers, but they are educated in English in India, and their English writing ability is no different from that of Maxine Hong Kingston and Amy Tan. There are many Chinese immigrant writers of the second generation, and one worth mentioning is Ren, whose works have been receiving rave reviews, but have not yet reached the bestseller list.
