Monkey King Book
Recent novels by Chinese American authors often describe a world where private life is far messier than the public face families put on it.

After attempting suicide, Sally must confront the past and lay her demons to rest. What separates Monkey King from other novels of its kind are the surprisingly sympathetic renderings of Sally's parents, the evocative portrayal of immigrants' sense of dislocation and loss, and the fine writing with which Patricia Chao brings Sally's world to life.Read More
