"Riveting, moving, and-most impressive-agile and resourceful in its approach to race. Don Lee explores that issue from every conceivable angle, raising a thousand questions and undercutting easy answers." -Jennifer Egan Joshua Yoon, Eric Cho, and Jessica Tsai arrive at Macalester College with different baggage but a singular and overpowering ambition-to become artists. As the years progress, their resolve is tested first by an act of campus racism and later, while they're living together as adults in Cambridge, by a set of real-world demands and distractions that ultimately drive them in vastly different directions. A dazzling exploration of racial identity and the queasy position of the artist in contemporary America, Don Lee's latest is a landmark achievement-his most funny, tragic, and revealing book yet. Winner of the 2013 Asian/Pacific American Award for Literature
