My Year Abroad by Chang-Rae Lee
About the book: My Year Abroad is an exuberant and provocative story about a young American life transformed by an unusual Asian adventure, and about the human capacities for pleasure, pain and connection. 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.
