Description
A wild ride through Asia and self-discovery awaits in Chang-rae Lee's My Year Abroad. An average American college student is catapulted into an extraordinary adventure when he meets a larger-than-life entrepreneur who takes him under his wing. As they travel across Asia, the young man is transformed by a series of extreme and eye-opening experiences that challenge his view of the world and himself. In precise, elliptical prose, Lee weaves together two narratives: the outlandish year spent abroad with Pong, and the complex domestic life that follows as he processes what happened.
