Trying to track my asian lit reading so I made a shelf with all the asian lit books I’ve read so far but I’m starting to struggle a bit. I’m wondering how does one determine a book is asian lit? Books with plots centred around asian lore/myth, books set in asia, books with asian characters, books written by asians? Are all these considered asian lit? A bit confused on this because I’ve come across books written by asian authors with plots unrelated to asia (no asian characters/lores/myths, etc), and wondering if I should include those books in my shelf? 🤔

So far I’ve only shelved books that are translated asian works, or specifically about asian lore/myth with asian MCs. But I feel that cannot be the only criteria.

I support women’s rights and wrongs, what’s your favorite story that has to do with feminine or female rage? I’ve read Hungerstone, They Never Learn, and a few others. I have Poppy War on my list to read. Anyone got book recommendations for a lady angry at the world? 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↔️
