WATER MIRROR ECHO Bruce Lee and the Making of Asian America

This extensive, thoughtful, and well-researched biography of the martial arts great Bruce Lee smoothly draws the listener in. Lee was an enigma in some ways, and author Chang has captured his life, which was cut short at age 32. Narrator James Chen deftly uses slight shifts in his voice when delivering quotes. He maintains control of his tone, making shifts when appropriate but never camping it up, a style that is appropriate since martial arts is partly about self-control. The audiobook covers Lee's early years, his acting career, and his associates, as well as some of his detractors. Chen's skilled narration will keep listeners fascinated with Lee's life--even those with only a passing interest in martial arts. M.B. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: NOVEMBER 2025]
