Comment on style/language of narrative.

The language of the novel is filled with words and descriptions that the reader might find confusing or deeply fascinating. The Tang people speak a language that is not familiar to the reader, therefore the author does not introduce too many of these words or phrases to the reader. However, the Tang people have traditions and idioms in their language that are passed on to the reader, presenting a view of America from a Tang immigrants point of view that is both offensive and understanding, a view that will make the reader think simply through their use of words and phrases.
