Chang-rae Lee has contributed to several anthologies that highlight Asian American writing and food-related literature. On a Bed of Rice (1995) collects Asian American writing, while Charlie Chan Is Dead 2: At Home in the World (2004) is a landmark anthology of Asian American fiction. Secret Ingredients (2007) gathers food writing from The New Yorker, a fitting inclusion given Lee’s essay Coming Home Again.
These anthology appearances reflect both Lee’s literary reputation and his recurring interest in food, culture, and the Asian American experience.
