CULTURE CONFUSION, CLASH? is a gripping, first-person memoir by an Asian American man caught between inherited traditions and the harsh realities of American society. Set largely in Texas, the narrative explores the deep psychological impact of cultural dislocation, parental abandonment, addiction, and emotional repression. Through vivid storytelling and raw introspection, the author retraces his life from a turbulent childhood marked by shame and silence, through volatile relationships, institutional failures, and moments of spiritual reckoning. At the heart of the memoir is a desperate search for belonging and identity-navigating between Asian familial expectations and Western definitions of masculinity, love, and success. Blending fragmented memory, journal-style reflection, and piercing emotional honesty, CULTURE CONFUSION, CLASH? is a powerful testament to the pain of invisibility-and the quiet, ongoing struggle to find peace, connection, and self-understanding in a world that never quite makes room for you
