2026 Spring Read: Fascinated by the American Dream

Miriam Scott

Hello booklovers, Miriam Scott here from Amarillo, Texas. Today I get to share with you my thoughts on the wonderfully written and illustrated book The American Dream? by author and artist Shing Yin Khor. There are a few things she and I have in common. We are both naturalized immigrants, love traveling alone, and we are both fascinated with the American Dream and the many different shapes this Dream takes in such a vast country of great diversity.

Lauren Pronger

Hi, I’m Lauren Pronger from Amarillo, TX and I’m talking about The American Dream?, a graphic novel memoir by Shing Yin Khor for the HPPR Radio Readers. As an avid graphic novel reader, one of the things that struck me about this book is that the illustrations tend to float on the page removed from their contexts.
