Synopsis

Raymond Ding is not young, He's been married before. He is the only Asian man Aurora Crane has ever kissed...and, she fears the only man she has ever loved. Three months ago, she told him she was moving out of the apartment they shared for two years. He quietly left instead. Although Aurora is Hapa (half Asian), she moves most comfortably in the white world. So it's back to the familiar as she quickly tumbles into a new romantic involvement-this time with someone her own age, someone white, someone she could bring home to meet the folks. If only she could do something about her dreams...

Raymond and Aurora still dream about each other-sensually haunting dreams that inspire longing in their waking hours, and the fear of mishandled fate. Set in modern-day San Francisco, AMERICANese is a penetrating anti-romance, filled with lush, dreamlike imagery and sharply realized emotions. It tells this story of two lovers perhaps meant to be together, bewildered as they hopelessly drift apart.
