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 prot&eacute;g&eacute;, 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, &ldquo;precise, elliptical prose&rdquo; that Chang-rae Lee is known for ( The   New York Times ), the narrative alternates between Tiller&rsquo;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&mdash;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.]]></description><link>https://sppl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S138C2852198</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sppl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S138C2852198</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Lee, Chang-rae]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sppl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2852198138</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780698407046/MC.GIF&amp;client=sntpapl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[On Such A Full Sea]]></title><description><![CDATA[&ldquo;Watching a talented writer take a risk is one of the pleasures of devoted reading, and  On Such a Full Sea  provides all that and more. . . . With  On Such a Full Sea , [Chang-rae Lee] has found a new way to explore his old preoccupation: the oft-told tale of the desperate, betraying, lonely human heart.&rdquo;&mdash;Andrew Sean Greer,  The New York Times Book Review   &ldquo;I've never been a fan of grand hyperbolic declarations in book reviews, but faced with  On Such a Full Sea , I have no choice but to ask: Who is a greater novelist than Chang-rae Lee today?&rdquo;&mdash;Porochista Khakpour,  The Los Angeles Times   From the beloved award-winning author of  Native Speaker,The Surrendered , and  My Year Abroad , a highly provocative, deeply affecting story of one woman&rsquo;s legendary quest in a shocking, future America.    On Such a Full Sea  takes Chang-rae Lee&rsquo;s elegance of prose, his masterly storytelling, and his long-standing interests in identity, culture, work, and love, and lifts them to a new plane. Stepping from the realistic and historical territories of his previous work, Lee brings us into a world created from scratch. Against a vividly imagined future America, Lee tells a stunning, surprising, and riveting story that will change the way readers think about the world they live in.  In a future, long-declining America, society is strictly stratified by class. Long-abandoned urban neighborhoods have been repurposed as highwalled, self-contained labor colonies. And the members of the labor class&mdash;descendants of those brought over en masse many years earlier from environmentally ruined provincial China&mdash;find purpose and identity in their work to provide pristine produce and fish to the small, elite, satellite charter villages that ring the labor settlement.
