Produktbeschreibung

An NPR Best Book of the Year: "The most honest, unflinching, cathartically biting novel I've read about the Chinese American experience." -Celeste Ng, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of Our Missing Hearts Winner, Anisfield-Wolf Book Award * Winner, Chautauqua Prize *Finalist, Dayton Literary Peace Prize * ANew York TimesNotable Book* A Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year Sly, funny, intelligent, and artfully structured,The Fortunesrecasts American history through the lives of Chinese Americans and reimagines the multigenerational novel through the fractures of immigrant family experience. Inhabiting four lives-a railroad baron's valet who unwittingly ignites an explosion in Chinese labor; Hollywood's first Chinese movie star; a hate-crime victim whose death mobilizes the Asian American community; and a biracial writer visiting China for an adoption-this novel captures and capsizes over a century of our history, showing that even as family bonds are denied and broken, a community can survive-as much through love as blood. "Intense and dreamlike . . . filled with quiet resonances across time." -The New Yorker "Riveting and luminous... Like the best books, this one haunts the reader well after the end." -Jesmyn Ward, National Book Award-winning author of Sing, Unburied, Sing "A moving, often funny, and deeply provocative novel about the lives of four very different Chinese Americans as they encounter the myriad opportunities and clear limits of American life... gorgeously told." -Chang-rae Lee, Buzzfeed "A poignant, cascading four-part novel . . . Outstanding." -David Mitchell,The Guardian
