DISORIENTATION - ELAINE HSIEH CHOU KARTONIERT (TB)

'The funniest  most poignant novel of the year' - Vogue   For fans of Yellowface by Rebecca F
Kuang  Disorientation is an uproarious and big-hearted satire - alive with sharp edges  immense
warmth  and a cast of unforgettable characters - that asks: who gets to tell our stories?  
Ingrid Yang is desperate to finish her PhD dissertation on the much-lauded poet Xiao-Wen Chou
and never read about 'Chinese-y' things again  when she accidentally stumbles upon a strange
note in the Chou archives that she thinks may be her ticket out of academic hell.  But Ingrid
has no idea that the note will lead to an explosive secret  upending her entire life and the
lives of those around her. Her clumsy exploits to discover the truth set off a rollercoaster of
mishaps and misadventures  from campus protests and over-the-counter drug hallucinations  to
book burnings and a movement that stinks of Yellow Peril propaganda. In the aftermath  she'll
have to question everything  from her relationship with her fiancé to the kind of person she
dares to be.   'The funniest novel I've read all year' - Aravind Adiga  author of The White
Tiger    'Fearless' - Observer    'Elaine Hsieh Chou's pen is a scalpel' - Raven Leilani 
author of Luster
