Praise for My Year Abroad : " My Year Abroad is a strange and stirring amalgam: a tender novel about business, ambition, and appetite. With great generosity, and in a searching, democratic spirit, Chang-rae Lee describes the enticements, mirages, pleasures and catastrophes that attend not only the pursuit of wealth but the pursuit of happiness in all its forms, romantic, domestic, and, yes, gustatory. In Pong Lou, he has given American literature a character who deserves his place among other tragic dreamers, from Gatsby to J.R." -- Jeffrey Eugenides, Pulitzer Prize winning author of Middlesex " For a quarter century now, from book to book, [Chang-rae Lee] has explored the ever-urgent themes of alienation, assimilation, and identity with unmatched assurance and acuity. He has redefined not only what it means to be American, but the fabric of the Great American Novel itself."-- Jhumpa Lahiri, Pulitzer Prize winning author of Interpreter of Maladies " My Year Abroad is a novel of astonishing wit and wisdom and scope, a globe-spanning story about those powerful first youthful encounters with love and evil and heartbreak and beauty. It's also, by the way, enormously fun to read. Chang-rae Lee is, clearly, a master."-- Nathan Hill, New York Times -bestselling author of The Nix "Lee is supreme, and this high-velocity, shocking, and wise novel, avidly promoted, is emitting an irresistible magnetic force." -- Booklist, STARRED review "Lee is masterful from passage to passage. . .A sage study in how readily we're undone by our appetites."-- Kirkus Reviews "This literary whirlwind has Lee running on all cylinders."-- Publishers Weekly , STARRED review, Praise for My Year Abroad : NAMED A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF 2021 BY CNN, VOGUE, COSMOPOLITAN, O MAGAZINE, NEW YORK MAGAZINE, MARIE CLAIRE, GOOD HOUSEKEEPING, BUZZFEED, READ IT FORWARD, LITERARY HUB, MEDIUM and more! " My Year Abroad is an extraordinary book, acrobatic on the level of the sentence, symphonic across its many movements--and this is a book that moves... My Year Abroad is a wild ride--a caper, a romance, a bildungsroman, and something of a satire of how to get filthy rich in rising Asia. This isn't a book that skates through its many disparate-seeming scenes, but rather unites them in the heartfelt adventure of its protagonist, who begins his year "abroad" as a foreign land to himself and arrives at something like belonging by the end of his story." - Vogue.com "A syncopated surprise, with an ending that will be sure to leave you texting all your friends." - NYMag.com/Vulture "Chang-rae Lee's electric new novel has the kind of kinetic energy that makes reading it feel like a full body experience, leaving you wondering and in awe of where exactly it will take you next... a virtuosic, wildly original book -- one that cements Lee's status as one of the most exciting writers working today." - Refinery29 "By turns dark, humorous and almost sneakily insightful." - GoodHousekeeping.com "Dickens meets globalism in this new work from one of our most celebrated writers." - OprahMag.com A syncopated surprise, with an ending that will be sure to leave you texting all your friends." -Vulture " My Year Abroad is a strange and stirring amalgam: a tender novel about business, ambition, and appetite.

Synopsis
From an award-winning writer known for exploring issues of culture and identity with provocative originality, My Year Abroad is a bold and exciting new novel about the people we meet who change our lives forever, and a brilliant satire/fable about entrepreneurship and the American dream., INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER A New York Times Notable Book * Named a Best Book of the Year by Vogue , TIME , and Marie Claire "A manifesto to happiness--the one found when you stop running from who you are." - New York Times Book Review "An extraordinary book, acrobatic on the level of the sentence, symphonic across its many movements--and this is a book that moves... My Year Abroad is a wild ride--a caper, a romance, a bildungsroman, and something of a satire of how to get filthy rich in rising Asia." - Vogue From the award-winning author of Native Speaker and On Such a Full Sea , an exuberant, provocative story about a young American life transformed by an unusual Asian adventure - and about the human capacities for pleasure, pain, and connection. Tiller is an average American college student with a good heart but minimal aspirations. Pong Lou is a larger-than-life, wildly creative Chinese American entrepreneur who sees something intriguing in Tiller beyond his bored exterior and takes him under his wing. When Pong brings him along on a boisterous trip across Asia, Tiller is catapulted from ordinary young man to talented protégé, and pulled into a series of ever more extreme and eye-opening experiences that transform his view of the world, of Pong, and of himself. In the breathtaking, "precise, elliptical prose" that Chang-rae Lee is known for ( The New York Times ), the narrative alternates between Tiller's outlandish, mind-boggling year with Pong and the strange, riveting, emotionally complex domestic life that follows it, as Tiller processes what happened to him abroad and what it means for his future. Rich with commentary on Western attitudes, Eastern stereotypes, capitalism, global trade, mental health, parenthood, mentorship, and more, My Year Abroad is also an exploration of the surprising effects of cultural immersion--on a young American in Asia, on a Chinese man in America, and on an unlikely couple hiding out in the suburbs. Tinged at once with humor and darkness, electric with its accumulating surprises and suspense, My Year Abroad is a novel that only Chang-rae Lee could have written, and one that will be read and discussed for years to come.
