<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>You're twelve years old. A month has passed since your Korean Air flight landed at lovely Newark Airport. Your fifteen-year-old sister is miserable. Your mother isn't exactly happy, either. You're seeing your father for the first time in five years, and although he's nice enough, he might be, well--how can you put this delicately?--a loser. <p/>You can't speak English, but that doesn't stop you from working at East Meets West, your father's gift shop in a strip mall, where everything is new. <p/>Welcome to the wonderful world of David Kim.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"A tender, funny, beautifully written novel-in-stories, each a sparkling step in the coming-of-age journey of a boy straddling two cultures with remarkable humor and grace. First-time author Sung Woo has created both lasting characters and a timeless portrait of a community." --<i>A. Manette Ansay, author of Vinegar Hill and Blue Water</i> <p/>"In its clear-eyed take on family and community, <i>Everything Asian</i> is Everything American. The proprietors of this roadside New Jersey shopper's village are by turns dreamy and despairing as their fortunes--like the local economy--change. Sung J. Woo has crafted a debut rich in character and event." --<i>Stewart O'Nan, author of Songs for the Missing</i> <p/>"Cleverly concatenated...recounts with both humor and pathos growing up and gradual Americanization. A novel that both delights and instructs." --<i>Kirkus Reviews (starred review)</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>SUNG J. WOO's short stories and essays have appeared in <i>The New York Times</i>, <i>McSweeney's</i>, and<i> KoreAm Journal</i>.
