Twenty-nine-year old doctoral student Ingrid Yang is confined to the narrow definitions of a life she believes she must have. To get there she must finish her PhD dissertation first. Unfortunately the Chinese poet she is researching is not the most engaging subject Ingrid’s adviser believes him to be. As Ingrid gets pulled into a major reveal about the poet’s identity, she confronts racism and its many fallouts in the country. An incisive and nuanced exploration of contemporary life in multiracial society, all cloaked in generous doses of razor-sharp humor. One plot twist too many but still fun and illuminating.
