As a child growing up in Malaysia, Shing Yin Khor had two very different ideas of what "America" meant.The first looked a lot like Hollywood, full of beautiful people, sunlight, and freeways. The second looked more like The Grapes of Wratha nightmare landscape filled with impoverished people, brokendown cars, barren landscapes, and broken dreams.Follow along on Shing's solo journey (small adventuredog included) along the iconic Route 66, beginning in Santa Monica and ending up Chicago. What begins as a road trip ends up as something more like a pilgrimage in search of an American landscape that seems forever shifting and forever out of place.Just like Shing in real life, The American Dream? is quirky, honest, captivating, and filled with recollections of weird roadside statues.Carol L. Tilley, comics historian and information science professorShing Yin Khors debut graphic memoir The American Dream? is the critical antidote to the whitewashed narratives of the great American road trip. Kristina Wong, performance artist and activistA lovely, deceptively simple road trip memoir that revels in quirky discovery and quiet adventure while grappling with the anger and longing of one immigrants experience. Greg Pak, comic book writer"Khor takes that 'feeling of desperately searching for something better, for a new start,' and adapts it to their own 'pilgrimage' as immigrant and artist traveling historic Route 66 . . . in whimsical fullcolor detail."starred, Booklist"This is a book that will make you want to pack a bag, jump in your car and travel across America."Geek MomA Forbes Best Graphic Novel of 2019
