Bibliography:

• Allan, Angela S. "Our Sense of Purpose': Speculative Fiction and Systems Reading." Novel: A Forum on Fiction. (Scholarly Article)
  • This is a scholarly article that was published in Duke University Press's peer-reviewed academic journal, so it should be a reliable secondary source on the novel. Allan discusses On Such a Full Sea as a work of speculative fiction, reading as a system of understanding, and the impact of the first-person plural narrative choice.
• Allfrey, Ellah. "A Story Of Pluck And Courage In An Unforgiving Future." NPR. (Book Review)
  • This is a book review for On Such a Full Sea that was published on NPR, which is a fairly prominent organization and establishes the notability of this novel. In this secondary source, Allfrey discusses Lee's writing style and some of the events of the book.
• Barrish, P. "Speculative Fiction and the Political Economy of Healthcare: Chang-Rae Lee’s On Such a Full Sea." Journal of Medical Humanities. (Scholarly Article)
  • This is a scholarly article published in Springers Journal of Medical Humanities, so it should be fairly reliable. Barrish uses the novel to discuss the discourse around the United States' Affordable Care Act, and he ultimately argues that On Such a Full Sea advocates for universal government-funded health care.
• Brada-Williams, Noelle. "On Such a Full Sea of Novels: An Interview with Chang-rae Lee." San Jose State University. (Author Interview)
  • This is an interview with Chang-rae Lee, and this is a transcript of a conversation with the author during his visit to San Jose State in October 2015. This further elaborates on his thoughts on developing the book and what he views as key components.
• Brockes, Emma. "Chang-rae Lee: 'When people asked, I'd say, "I'm writing a very strange book." I thought no one was going to get it.'" The Guardian. (Author Interview)
  • This is another interview with Chang-rae Lee, although it makes less use of a transcript format and uses direct quotes interspersed with the interviewer's thoughts.

• Fan, Christopher T. "Animacy at the End of History in Changrae Lee’s On Such a Full Sea." American Quarterly. (Scholarly Article)
  • This is a scholarly article published in American Quarterly by John Hopkins University Press, so it is likely to be a reliable secondary source. In the paper, Fan discusses the novel's exploration of "capitalist realism" and its treatment of US-China interdependency in a post-apocalyptic world. He also discusses the development of the novel, which is useful information for the background section.
• Huang, Michelle N. "Racial Disintegration: Biomedical Futurity at the Environmental Limit." American Literature. (Scholarly Article)
  • This is a scholarly article published in Duke University Press's American Literature journal. It is a reliable secondary source, and it focuses on the way the novel highlights the problems with not accounting for race in healthcare, coining the term "studious deracination" in reference to this discourse.
• Johns-Putra, Adeline. "The Rest is Silence: Postmodern and Postcolonial Possibilities in Climate Change Fiction." Studies in the Novel. (Scholarly Article)
  • This is a scholarly article published by John Hopkins University press, and the author of this secondary source examines how postmodernism perspectives on climate change are being integrated into literature.
• Lee, Chang-rae. On Such a Full Sea. (Source Material)
  • This is citation for the novel, which is the primary source for this page. Although more emphasis should be placed on secondary sources, I am including it because it could be useful to have as a reference.
• Leyshon, Cressida. "The Chorus of “We”: An Interview With Chang-rae Lee." The New Yorker. (Author Interview)
  • This is an interview with Chang-rae Lee that was published in The New Yorker. This would be considered a primary source since it is the author talking about his own work, and it is not peer reviewed. In the interview, he discusses creating the book and deciding to use first person plural narration.

• Min, Susette. "Biopower, Space, and Race in Asian American Studies." American Literature. (Scholarly Article)
  • This is a scholarly article published in the peer reviewed journal, American Literature. The latter half of this essay addresses this book in relation to biopower, space, and race, specifically exploring On Such a Full Sea's message in relation to other prominent creative works by Asian Americans.

Evaluation of Current Bibliography:

• "2014 Winners & Finalists." National Book Critics Circle.
  • This is the list for 2014, and from investigation into the organization, they have been around since approximately 1975, so this is significant that it was recognized. However, the Wikipedia page is currently inaccurate, listing it merely as a nominee when it is actually designated a finalist.
• "Booklist Editors' Choice: Adult Books, 2014." Booklist.
  • This is a Booklist source, and it lists this designation as an award on the Wikipedia page. I think recognition might be better terminology for this.
• Dinh, Thuy. "On Such a Full Sea." Shelf Awareness.
  • I am uncertain about the notability of Shelf Awareness; the publishing company has a Wikipedia page, although it is flagged for a major contributor having a close connection. The Wikipedia page for On Such a Full Sea currently cites this as one of the book's positive reviews, and the link also leads to an author interview with Chang-rae Lee.
• Hilyard, Nann Blaine. "On Such a Full Sea." Library Journal.
  • It does not appear to be fully accessible to the public or very short; it gives a brief overview and a one sentence positive verdict. It also focuses on the audiobook.
  • Note: There is a double citation of this source twice with two different entries in the references section.***
• Kakutani, Michiko. "Sacrificing gated Safety for a Lover and Herself." The New York Times.
  • The New York Times is significant, so this highlights its significance. It is a book review, and it is good to reference.
• Morales, Macey. "ALA unveils shortlist for 2015 Andrew Carnegie Medals for Excellence in Fiction and Nonfiction." American Library Association.
  • This is essentially duplicative of the Bill Ott source. The organizations are also affiliated (Booklist is a publication of the American Library Association). Likely only one of these sources needs to be listed.
• "Notable Books: 2015." Booklist.
  • This is another Booklist source. On the current Wikipedia page, it lists this as an award.
• "On Such a Full Sea." Booklist.
  • This is once again a source from Booklist. It is a review of the audio book, but it is inaccessible to the public.
• "On Such a Full Sea." Kirkus Reviews.
  • This is another positive review from a notable organization.
• "On Such a Full Sea." Publisher Weekly.
  • This is a positive review from another notable organization.
• Ott, Bill. "Shortlist Announced for the 2015 Andrew Carnegie Medals for Fiction and Nonfiction." Booklist.
  • This is essentially duplicative of the Macey Morales source. The organizations are also affiliated (Booklist is a publication of the American Library Association). Likely only one of these sources needs to be listed.
• Seaman, Donna. "On Such a Full Sea." Booklist.
  • This is another Booklist source, and it is another positive review of the novel.
