MAY 2009: COWBOY VS. SAMURAI
By Michael Golamco
Travis Park is a high school English teacher and the only Korean American man living in a dusty cowboy town known as Breakneck, Wyoming. When a gorgeous, whip-smart Asian American woman moves into town, he immediately falls for her; the only problem is that she only dates white men. In this savagely funny and often moving comic re-telling of Edmond Rostand’s Cyrano de Bergerac, Travis must choose allegiance between his cowboy friend (a dim, handsome, Caucasian P.E. teacher named Del) and his Asian Brother-with-a-Capital-B (crazed, militant Asian of Unknown Origin, Chester). He must choose between the Asian American and the American within himself – between Cowboy vs. Samurai – in a pursuit of a love that may only be as real as the love letters he writes for someone else.
