SUMMARY:New Reads Book Club: Home Remedies
DESCRIPTION:The New Reads Book Club focuses on contemporary literature and is hosted by Drawn and Quarterly staff members. The book club meetings take place every 4-6 weeks\, and are open to all. \nFor our OCTOBER meeting\, we will meet at La Petite Librairie Drawn & Quarterly (176 Bernard O.) at 7 pm to discuss Home Remedies by Xuan Juliana Wang. \nJoin us for discussion and drinks with Librairie bookseller and host Rachel Wallace! \n**We offer a 20% discount on Home Remedies from now until the meeting date.** \nThe Book:\nXuan Juliana Wang’s remarkable debut introduces us to the new and changing face of Chinese youth. From fuerdai (second-generation rich kids) to a glass-swallowing qigong grandmaster\, her dazzling\, formally inventive stories upend the immigrant narrative to reveal a new experience of belonging: of young people testing the limits of who they are\, in a world as vast and varied as their ambitions. \nIn stories of love\, family\, and friendship\, here are the voices\, faces and stories of a new generation never before captured between the pages in fiction. What sets them apart is Juliana Wang’s surprising imagination\, able to capture the innermost thoughts of her characters with astonishing empathy\, as well as the contradictions of the modern immigrant experience in a way that feels almost universal. Home Remedies is\, in the words of Alexander Chee\, “the arrival of an urgent and necessary literary voice we’ve been needing\, waiting for maybe\, without knowing.”
