"Beauty plus pity-that is the closest we can get to a definition of art."
-Vladimir Nabokov
In this tragicomic, modern immigrant's tale, Malcolm Kwan is a twentysomething Asian American embarking on a modeling career whose life is derailed when his father dies and his fiancée leaves him. When he meets the half-sister he never knew existed-the result of his father's extramarital affair-he must work through his lifelong ambivalence as one trapped between two cultures and between two parents holding intolerable secrets.
Kevin Chong is the author of the novel Baroque-a-Nova (Plume) and the memoir Neil Young Nation (Greystone Books).
