I'll be interested to read the book.
The "Paper Tigers" essay (subtitled "What happens to all the Asian-American overachievers when the test-taking ends?") was one of the best things I've read recently. It's been submitted to HN several times since being published in 2011, but hasn't gotten much discussion. Here's the one with the most: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7506651 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7506651
