Beschreibung

<b>From the Pulitzer Prize finalist, a story of guilt, innocence, and a boy on the cusp of adolescence<br><i> <br></i>“A tour de force… One of contemporary American literature’s major chroniclers of manhood.” —<i>The Atlantic<br><br></i>"[A] knockout... Lee reinvents himself with each book." <i>—The Boston Globe<br><br></i>“Moving… a classic bildungsroman.” —<i>The New York Times Book Review<br></i><br>"He has redefined not only what it means to be American, but the fabric of the Great American Novel itself." —Jhumpa Lahiri</b><br><br>A spellbinding exploration of American 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 American bildungsroman. The natural descendent of characters like Huckleberry Finn and Holden Caufield, 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.<br><br>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.
