‘Beauty plus pity—that is the closest we can get to a definition of art.’
—Vladimir Nabokov
In this tragicomic, modern immigrant’s tale, Malcolm Kwan is a twentysomething Asian American embarking on a modeling career whose life is derailed when his father dies and his fiancée leaves him. When he meets the half-sister he never knew existed—the result of his father’s extramarital affair—he must work through his lifelong ambivalence as one trapped between two cultures and between two parents holding intolerable secrets.
