Neuware - One of the The New York Times's 100 Best Books of the 21st CenturyWinner of the Pulitzer PrizeWinner of the National Book Critics Circle AwardNew York Times Bestseller"Quietly wrenchingTo say that this book is about grief or coming-of-age doesn't quite do it justiceThis is a memoir that gathers power through accretionall those moments and gestures that constitute experience, the bits and pieces that coalesce into a life." The New York Times"[A] luminous and tender-hearted story. . . Stay True is a nuanced and beautiful evocation of young adulthood in all its sloppy, exuberant glory." The Wall Street Journal"An evolutionary step for Asian American literature." New York MagazineIn the eyes of eighteen-year-old Hua Hsu, the problem with Kenwith his passion for Dave Matthews, Abercrombie & Fitch, and his fraternityis that he is exactly like everyone else. Ken, whose Japanese American family has been in the United States for generations, is mainstream; for Hua, the son of Taiwanese immigrants, who makes 'zines and haunts Bay Area record shops, Ken represents all that he defines himself in opposition to. The only thing Hua and Ken have in common is that, however they engage with it, American culture doesn't seem to have a place for either of them.But despite his first impressions, Hua and Ken become friends, a friendship built on late-night conversations over cigarettes, long drives along the California coast, and the successes and humiliations of everyday college life. And then violently, senselessly, Ken is gone, killed in a carjacking, not even three years after the day they first meet.Determined to hold on to all that was left of one of his closest friendshis memoriesHua turned to writing. Stay True is the book he's been working on ever since. A coming-of-age story that details both the ordinary and extraordinary, Stay True is a bracing memoir about growing up, and about moving through the world in search of meaning and belonging.
