The Heart Sellers, a play by Lloyd Suh, features two Asian immigrant women who meet in a grocery store during Thanksgiving in the 1970s. Over a turkey dinner, Jane and Luna share their personal journeys and immigrant experiences while exploring the theme of solidarity amid diversity. Suh argues that creating connections with those unlike oneself is fundamental to the American identity. The play, which builds on his previous work regarding Asian American history, showcases the intimate friendships that arise from shared experiences, highlighting the richness of immigrant narratives in America.
Suh emphasizes that solidarity involves finding common ground with those who are different from you, making it a complex but essential part of the American experience.
Suh's exploration of immigrant narratives reflects on shared challenges, showcasing how friendship can bridge cultural divides and create a deeper understanding of the American landscape.
