Neither of them feels connected to their parents undergoing metamorphoses of their own in their new country, a country which purports to support them and yet in which they can find no place. As the family splits apart and loses touch with one another, and Kevin goes missing, no one recognizes it as the warning sign it is, until it erupts in a moment that indicts them all. Both deeply serious and absurdly funny, AMERICAN HAN is a story about striving and assimilation, about how the past can stand as an obstacle to the way immigrants-and specifically Korean immigrants-relate to other Americans; but also how each of them plays a role in inflicting the wounds that Kevin now carries and in turn inflicts back on the world. A searing and probing portrait that challenges assumptions about the immigrant experience, Lisa Lee's debut introduces a powerful new voice on the literary landscape.
