ICYMI on KPBS Midday Edition: The KPBS One Book, One San Diego selection for teens is Trung Le Nguyen's graphic novel, 'The Magic Fish.' It's a powerful book that weaves traditional fairy tales with the story of a Vietnamese American teenager.
"The Magic Fish" is about a second-generation Vietnamese American teenager, Tiến, who uses fairy tales to help his mother learn English.
Nguyen said that he wanted to explore the way language transforms and is significant in both everyday use and broader, big-picture cultural ways. "I had heard it growing up, because that was a story that was familiar to my parents, and I have a lot of strong, warm, sentimental feelings about it," Nguyen said."Originally 'The Magic Fish' was just supposed to be a bunch of Cinderella stories put together, and then I had to figure out what these stories meant to me and why I was drawn to Cinderella stories, and stories about transition in these ways.
Nguyen was also drawn to fairy tales because of their commonalities across cultures, and that it highlights that storytelling is a universal, communal phenomenon.
