In Maxine Hong Kingston's Tripmaster Monkey: His Fake Book, Royal examines the inextricable link between the construction of ethnic identity and the engagements of literary genre. Just as her maniacally heteroglossic protagonist opens up the stage to a dramatic redefinition of what it means to be a Chinese American, Kingston manipulates genre expectations in order to open up Chinese American representations as well as the very act of representing itself. Similar to the ways in which she attempts to redefine conceptions of ethnicity, Kingston incorporates multiple or ill-defined genres that allow an opening up of the canon in terms of what it means to be an American female writer of color.
