Sobre este artículo
New York: Pantheon Books, 2004. First Edition, First Printing.
Octavo, 352 pages, photo-illustrated boards, in an unclipped dust jacket (hard cover).
SIGNED by Ha Jin on the title page. Ha Jin's novel about Chinese prisoners-of-war held by American forces during the Korean war. It's fiction but it's based on true historical accounts, which explains the presence of a bibliography. This book was winner of the PEN/Faulkner Award and a Pulitzer Prize finalist, both in 2005.
CONDITION: Fine in a Fine dust jacket that, by design, is noticeably smaller than the book itself. A very attractive copy.
Sinopsis
In his first book of stories since The Bridegroom was published in 2000 ("Finely wrought . . . Every story here is cut like a stone."--Chicago Sun-Times), National Book Award--winning Ha Jin gives us a collection that delves into the experience of Chinese immigrants in America. With the same profound attention to detail that is a hallmark of his previous acclaimed works of fiction, Ha Jin depicts here the full spectrum of immigrant life and the daily struggles--some minute, some grand--faced by these intriguing individuals. A lonely composer takes comfort in the antics of his girlfriend's parakeet; young children decide to change their names so that they might sound more "American," unaware of how deeply this will hurt their grandparents; a Chinese professor of English attempts to defect with the help of a reluctant former student. All of Ha Jin's characters struggle in situations that stir within them a desire to remain attached to be loyal to their homeland and its traditions as they explore and avail themselves of the freedom that life in a new country offers. In these stark, deeply moving, acutely insightful, and often strikingly humorous stories, we are reminded once again of the storytelling prowess of this superb writer.From the Hardcover edition.
