A Hint of Light David L. Meth

A HINT OF LIGHT is the story of a black-Korean Amerasian boy orphaned to the streets of Seoul from the time he is born. It traces his life, with his white-Korean female companion, through the gutters and back alleys of the marketplace, through whorehouses and hotels, to Japan in the service of a wealthy Korean exporter's wife, and finally to New York City. It is a dramatic view of the streets through the eyes of its various inhabitants that exposes the underbelly of racism that permeates Asian and American societies. It is a fictional document on a segment of society trapped in their own skins because of their color, but who remain foreigners in their own land with no identity and no escape.
