There was a literary movement in the US called regionalism and local colour which apparently relates to this question. Re the local color of where I and my wife live, in the city of Vancouver, it is a national minority area with many filipinos, some South Asians, some Asians, a few Polish people and a few white Anglo-Saxons like me. In the early morning, around 8-8:30AM the bus is full of young people going downtown to work and the basement parking lot of our complex is mostly devoid of cars except for a few retirees-mostly relatively young families in our apartment block. There are 2 main shopping areas where we live-one which is partly South Asian and the other one partly filipino but with an increasing number of upscale eating establishments for gourmet food and coffee bars. Across the street from our apartment complex is a very large cemetery which doesn't bother us as it is peaceful for walking and we don't have to worry about someone building a high rise to block our decent view. Mostly we don't have Chinese people looking onto the cemetery because I believe they are superstitious about living in view of a cemetery.

the hunger games, written by suzanne collins, is fiction in the young adult genre, which is not my age group, but i found myself unable to put it down. its combination of nerve-racking tension, thrilling action, and engaging love story kept me up until the wee hours. i was surprised at how completely engrossing the plot was. like brave new world, this story is set in a future where the government oppresses its people, but the book also borrows ideas from the greek myth of theseus and the minotaur.

divided into 12 districts, ruled by an oppressive government located at the capitol. katniss everdeen, a 16-year-old girl from district 12, takes her younger sister’s place as one of 24 “tributes” selected every year to participate in the hunger games at the capitol.

while i found this book absolutely enthralling, i was surprised it was aimed at an audience of young adults. it seems extremely intense for anyone younger than 16 or 17. for example, there is a scene where one young tribute is slowly eaten alive by wolf-like creatures all night long, and katniss has to finally throw a weapon at him to end his misery. i found this a little too disturbing when i considered the age of the character.

the intensity of the action was something one would find in a more mature book, but the age of the characters and the simplicity of the prose were aimed at a much younger audience. in addition, this book was written in present tense, which i found annoying, but that’s more of a personal preference than a stylistic fault. it was also edited somewhat poorly, but that rarely distracted from the plot. for example, the author often spoke in sentence fragments to describe how katniss felt, which might have been an attempt to reflect on her thought process, but i found it disorienting to read a lot of really short sentences all together. it would have been better to vary the sentence length on occasion, but the story was still coherently.

overall, the hunger games was an excellent, enthralling read that i highly recommend. if it was more clearly marked for older teens, it would have been better, but it was a fantastic book with a wonderfully creative plot.
