did you find the whole work culture kinda cultish? some people were just all about disney inside and outside of work while i worked there. I kinda felt like i was being robbed of my soul during my 2 year stint. I was doing whip-it canisters in between scooping ice cream at Gibsons just to numb myself.

Yo Junot! Very happy to see this AMA . I found that Oscar Wao drew a lot of parallels to the identity struggle of many first generation minority Americans. I found a lot of the interaction between Oscars family, mirrored my own upbringing in a Vietnamese family attempting to assimilate into American culture, whilst holding onto old tradition. Growing up as a kid in Jersey, how difficult, if at all, was it in trying to balance and maintain 2 different cultures in your life?
