<b>Gaitskill, Mary, <i>Salon</i>:</b> "I was surprised to realize, after I'd finished it, that CHINA MEN is a nonfiction account drawn from Kingston's own family history. I thought it was a novel employing the first person narrative, not only because it uses storytelling methods common in fiction, but because the world it creates is observed with such extraordinary perception and feeling that it seems magical."
