Paperback. Zustand: Fair. One of The Atlantic's Great American Novels of the Past 100 Years * From the acclaimed author of The Woman Warrior and China Men comes a novel centered on the life of a Chinese-American hippie and aspiring playwright as he explores the complexities of identity, culture, and artistic ambition. "A dazzling leap of imaginative sympathy [and] narrative magic."--The New York Times Book Review Wittman Ah Sing is a young Chinese-American hippie in San Francisco during the late sixties. Named after America's quintessential poet, indomitably garrulous and free-spirited, Wittman is as American as James Dean. Yet he also bears a strking resemblance to Monkey, the trickster-saint of Chinese legend who helped bring the Buddhist scriptures from India. Driven by his dream of writing and staging an epic production of interwoven Chinese novels and folktales, Wittman embarks on an extraordinary journey through an era as fantastic as his ambition. Tripmaster Monkey is by turns surreal; exuberantly charged with spectacle, violence, and Chinese "talk-story"; and wildly, bitterly funny. Kingston's masterful storytelling brings to life the struggles and triumphs of a young man caught between two worlds on a quest for self-discovery and cultural reconciliation.…

But as spring--and the school's Dragon Boat Festival--draws closer, love might send all of their careful plans tumbling overboard. From Harlequin Heartwarming: Wholesome stories of love, compassion and belonging.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. A FRESH, FUNNY, UP-CLOSE LOOK AT HOW SOUTH KOREA REMADE ITSELF AS THE WORLD'S POP CULTURE POWERHOUSE OF THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY By now, everyone in the world knows the song "Gangnam Style" and Psy, an instantly recognizable star. But the song's international popularity is no passing fad. "Gangnam Style" is only one tool in South Korea's extraordinarily elaborate and effective strategy to become a major world superpower by first becoming the world's number one pop culture exporter. As a child, Euny Hong moved from America to the Gangnam neighbourhood in Seoul. She was a witness to the most accelerated part of South Korea's economic development, during which time it leapfrogged from third-world military dictatorship to first-world liberal democracy on the cutting edge of global technology. Euny Hong recounts how South Korea vaulted itself into the twenty-first century, becoming a global leader in business, technology, education, and pop culture. Featuring lively, in-depth reporting and numerous interviews with Koreans working in all areas of government and society, The Birth of Korean Cool reveals how a really uncool country became cool, and how a nation that once banned miniskirts, long hair on men, and rock 'n' roll could come to mass produce boy bands, soap operas, and the world's most important smart phone.…
