Описание: INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER A New York Times Notable Book * Named a Best Book of the Year by Vogue, TIME, and Marie Claire "A manifesto to happiness--the one found when you stop running from who you are." -New York Times Book Review "An extraordinary book, acrobatic on the level of the sentence, symphonic across its many movements--and this is a book that moves...My Year Abroad is a wild ride--a caper, a romance, a bildungsroman, and something of a satire of how to get filthy rich in rising Asia." - Vogue From the award-winning author of Native Speaker and On Such a Full Sea, an exuberant, provocative story about a young American life transformed by an unusual Asian adventure - and about the human capacities for pleasure, pain, and connection. Tiller is an average American college student with a good heart but minimal aspirations. Pong Lou is a larger-than-life, wildly creative Chinese American entrepreneur who sees something intriguing in Tiller beyond his bored exterior and takes him under his wing. When Pong brings him along on a boisterous trip across Asia, Tiller is catapulted from ordinary young man to talented protйgй, and pulled into a series of ever more extreme and eye-opening experiences that transform his view of the world, of Pong, and of himself. In the breathtaking, "precise, elliptical prose" that Chang-rae Lee is known for (TheNew York Times), the narrative alternates between Tiller's outlandish, mind-boggling year with Pong and the strange, riveting, emotionally complex domestic life that follows it, as Tiller processes what happened to him abroad and what it means for his future. Rich with commentary on Western attitudes, Eastern stereotypes, capitalism, global trade, mental health, parenthood, mentorship, and more, My Year Abroad is also an exploration of the surprising effects of cultural immersion--on a young American in Asia, on a Chinese man in America, and on an unlikely couple hiding out in the suburbs. Tinged at once with humor and darkness, electric with its accumulating surprises and suspense, My Year Abroad is a novel that only Chang-rae Lee could have written, and one that will be read and discussed for years to come.

Описание: When the Korean World in Hawaii Was Young tells the stories of some “1.5” and second-generation Koreans who experienced life in Hawaii or on the U.S. Mainland since childhood. Most of them were born in Hawaii of the first wave of Korean immigrants who came to Hawaii before 1906. Some tales are humorous, some sad. Their stories were captured on camcorder and voice recordings among nearly a hundred interviews taken by co-author Roberta Chang. Others have submitted written biographies. Their stories are filled with amazing personal accomplishments, family love, and unique community life.Their precious personal memories of the tenor of community affairs during their youthful years also shed some light on the political divide pertaining to the Korean Independence Movement. The political dividing line among their parents was fierce. Most interestingly, some of the interviewees described how they became friends with their peers from the opposing families.Never again will we hear more of their stories as many of the 1.5 and older second-generation descendants have passed away or become too frail to express themselves.The collection of these interviews is interesting because the existing two Koreas resemble the early division of Koreans in America. We have not yet settled the question of why and how the division of the Mother Country developed into two Koreas. It is likely that the division began when the Korean world in Hawaii was young.
