Fiction with Asian-American characters

Finding fiction that relates to a topic or a theme can be difficult. Most library fiction collections are not subject-classified, except perhaps by genre (mystery, romance, science fiction, etc.). But there is no reliable way to find fiction that includes, say, characters with certain disabilities, or that take place during the wintertime, or in a specific location. We're starting to develop some lists on our Recommended Reads page that will help people find selected topic-related books in our collection. So far we've got two of these lists:

Books with Asian and Asian-American Characters and/or Themes
Books with Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual/Transgender Characters or Themes

If there are other lists you'd like us to develop, please let us know!
We've put books from the "Asian list" on display. Here's the cover of one of them (with the title American Eyes slightly obscured by the call number):
