Description

How can we live with integrity and pleasure in this world of police brutality and racism? An Asian American activist is challenged by his mother to face this question in this powerful—and funny—debut novel of generational change, a mother’s secret, and an activist’s coming-of-ageTwenty-one-year-old Reed is fed up. Angry about the killing of a Black man by an Asian American NYPD officer, he wants to drop out of college and devote himself to the Black Lives Matter movement. But would that truly bring him closer to the moral life he seeks? In a series of intimate, charged conversations, his mother—once the leader of a Korean-Black coalition—demands that he rethink his outrage, and along with it, what it means to be an organizer, a student, an ally, an American, and a son. As Reed zips around his hometown of Los Angeles with his mother, searching and questioning, he faces a revelation that will change everything. Inspired by his family’s roots in activism, Ryan Lee Wong offers an extraordinary debut novel for readers of Anthony Veasna So, Rachel Kushner, and Michelle Zauner: a book that is as humorous as it is profound, a celebration of seeking a life that is both virtuous and fun, an ode to mothering and being mothered.

    • Such a great read!
When self preclaimed activist read comes home to visit his Korean/Chinese family it’s because his grandma doesn’t have much time left but when he informs his Korean mother and Chinese father he is dropping out of college at Columbia to be a full-time protester his visit Home gets turned into so much more. The more he hangs out with his parents collectively and individually the more confused he is. They were previously protesters in activist and when he decides to interview his mom Enron who created the Korean black coalition it doesn’t go the way he thinks it will and throughout all this his mom is bringing him to yoga and other self-care appointments he protest at all either in his head or outwardly and even goes as far is calling other Koreans appropriator‘s. Will read get what he believes is the truth from his family visit or in the end will what he thought was important still be as important? I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I was first thrown off by all the racist talk all about white people but once I kept reading I couldn’t stop it was so good I loved his mom so much and wish I could’ve been her friend and although there was no consolation or even a stray comment about how not all white people are racist or in a position to have power I still enjoyed the book. I originally got this book because I thought it was a nonfiction book but I’m still glad I got it and glad I got to read it. Please forgive any mistakes as I am blind and dictate my review. ... show more

    • Basic. Avoid.
The writing is embarrassing. Like, how did this get out of the workshop bad. Overall what grates throughout is that Lee Wong is trying to have his cake and eat it too - he pokes fun at the rigidly ideological critique of systemic violence but also wants to score points for critiques of systemic violence. I’m truly mystified by all the praise for this schlock. There’s heaps of better books about pleasure and inter generational activism and even more about many varieties East Asian participation in the American experiment. ... show more
