Description
Fiction. "Wonderful.In WAYLAID, Lin has crafted an unforgettable story from the rundown landscapes of the New Jersey Shore and from the ambivalent geographies of his young narrator's heart.Lin is an astonishing talent"-Junot Diaz. "Ed Lin has wrought an Asian American Holden Caulfield whose goal from his tightly conscripted life of working at his parents' motel is to get laid without getting fucked. No model minority success here, this is the harsh universe of working class immigrants, a netherworld that both fascinates and repels"-Helen Zia.
