<p><b>'Who is a greater novelist than Chang-rae Lee?' </b><i><b>Los Angeles Times</b></i></p><p><b>'He has redefined not only what it means to be American, but the fabric of the Great American Novel itself.' Jhumpa Lahiri</b></p><p><b>'Chang-rae Lee can do no wrong in my mind - I devoured Lee's last novel, </b><i><b>My Year Abroad</b></i><b>, and I can't wait for this one.' </b><i><b>LitHub</b></i><br><br><b>From the Pulitzer Prize shortlisted novelist, a story of guilt, innocence, and a boy on the cusp of adolescence</b></p><p>'Lee's latest novel is a tale of almosts: a family of working-class immigrants almost living the American dream; an 11-year-old boy, almost transitioning into adulthood and straddling the worlds of his doting Korean parents and a semi-feral gaggle of neighborhood kids.' <i><b>New York Times </b></i><b>Most Anticipated Books of 2026</b></p><p>A spellbinding exploration of masculinity and family dynamics as seen through the confused eyes of a prepubescent child of immigrants, <i>A Tender Age</i> joins the rich tradition of the coming-of-age novel. The natural descendent of characters like Huckleberry Finn and Holden Caulfield, Korean-American Jeon-Gi is torn between competing ideas of himself. At home, his working-class parents dote on him. Outside, he is part of a roving pack of kids with dominion over a derelict baseball field, weedy parking lot, and rusty jungle gym. Getting into and out of trouble is all-consuming. But the summer he turns eleven, he becomes embroiled in a staggering series of events reverberating far beyond himself and his family.</p><p>Devastating in its emotional precision, <i>A Tender Age</i> captures a family and community in striking distance of the American dream, and a young person on the precipice of adult knowledge, looking at his own culpability and looking away - then thinking about it for the rest of his life.</p>
