Review:
"One of the year''s most provocative and deeply felt first novels...a searing portrait of the immigrant experience."—Vanity Fair

"The prose Lee writes is elliptical, riddling, poetic, often beautifully made."—The New Yorker
"Deft, delicate...The book''s narrative is lyrical, its plot compelling...The novel''s interwoven plots and themes, its slew of singular characters, and Henry''s ongoing recollections and reflections are rich and enticing."—Boston Globe
"A tender meditation on love, loss, and family."—The New York Times Book Review

From the Back Cover:
Korean American Henry Parks is "surreptitious, B+ student of life, illegal alien, emotional alien, Yellow peril: neo-American, stranger, follower, traitor, spy..". or so says his wife, in the list she writes upon leaving him. Henry is forever uncertain of his place, a perpetual outsider looking at American culture from a distance. And now, a man of two worlds, he is beginning to fear that he has betrayed both - and belongs to neither.
