In this essay, I analyse the theme of nostalgia, which has been overlooked both in existing work on Circle K Cycles (see Chuh 2006;Ling 2006Ling , 2012Kam 2008;Ragain 2018;Sheffer 2020) and, more generally, as an object of literary and cultural critique (see Su 2005;Walder 2011). In particular, I argue that Yamashita depicts a form of migrant and minority nostalgia that is both counter-hegemonic and conservative and that is closely linked to the phenomenon of ethnic return migration.…”
