Olympic Boulevard is a street in Los Angeles that passes through many
neighborhoods including Koreatown, where Phillip Ohno Lee sets his novel<em>. Olympic Boulevard</em> is
the story of the immigrant experience in America as seen through the
eyes of Korean immigrants who came to the United States in the early
1960s to establish themselves and to try to achieve the American Dream.
The novel tells the story of Myung Tay, who comes to America with his
best friend Hongdari to seek a different life. His life has ups and
downs as he opens a dry cleaning store on Olympic Boulevard and faces
the challenges of fitting into Los Angeles, fitting into the Angeleno
Korean community, and making the sacrifices necessary to create a better
