A couple months ago, I read an article in
Toronto Life about a Chinese-Canadian author, Ling Zhang, who is accused of plagiarizing the books of four well-known Chinese-Canadian authors for her multi-continent success
Gold Mountain Blues.
So, for this month's reading challenge, I am going to read the four books, plus Ms. Zhang's
Gold Mountain Blues and decide for myself whether Ling Zhang plagiarized the works of Wayson Choy, Sky Lee, Paul Yee, and Denise Chong. Here are the books involved in the plagiarism accusation:
 |
| The Jade Peony by Wayson Choy |
 |
| Disappearing Moon Cafe by Sky Lee |
 |
Dead Man's Gold by Paul Yee
|
 |
| Gold Mountain Blues by Ling Zhang |
 |
The Concubine's Children by Denise Chong
|
As always, I invite you to read along and share your thoughts using the comment button below.
Happy reading!
