Reviews
"A beautiful, solitary, remarkably tender book."- The New York Times Book Review " A Gesture Life is the touching, multilayered rumination of an uneasy psyche. It is also a tragic, horrifying page-turner, whose evocation of wartime victims is unforgettable...A deeply involving tale, no less so because we realize, almost from the first chapter, that we can''t trust Hata''s version of events. [Lee] enlists the reader''s full energies to interpret this enigmatic speaker, who saddens, baffles and unfuriates us all at once."- Chicago Tribune "Once again, this gifted young author has given us a beautifully tapestried story of seeking identity and acceptance in another culture while remaining separate from the tug of it."- The Christian Science Monitor "Lee elegantly creates suspense out of the seemingly static story of a man trying hard not to feel. He has written a wise and humane novel that both amplifies the themes of identity and exile he addressed in Native Speaker , and creates a wonderfully resonant portrait of a man caught between two cultures and two lives."-Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times, "A beautiful, solitary, remarkably tender book."-- The New York Times Book Review " A Gesture Life is the touching, multilayered rumination of an uneasy psyche.

Synopsis
The second novel from the critically acclaimed New York Times -bestselling author Chang-rae Lee. His remarkable debut novel was called "rapturous" ( The New York Times Book Review), "revelatory" ( Vogue ), and "wholly innovative" ( Kirkus Reviews ). It was the recipient of six major awards, including the prestigious Hemingway Foundation/PEN award. Now Chang-rae Lee has written a powerful and beautifully crafted second novel that leaves no doubt about the extraordinary depth and range of his talent. A Gesture Life is the story of a proper man, an upstanding citizen who has come to epitomize the decorous values of his New York suburban town. Courteous, honest, hardworking, and impenetrable, Franklin Hata, a Japanese man of Korean birth, is careful never to overstep his boundaries and to make his neighbors comfortable in his presence. Yet as his story unfolds, precipitated by the small events surrounding him, we see his life begin to unravel. Gradually we learn the mystery that has shaped the core of his being: his terrible, forbidden love for a young Korean Comfort Woman when he served as a medic in the Japanese army during World War II. In A Gesture Life , Chang-rae Lee leads us with dazzling control through a taut, suspenseful story about love, family, and community--and the secrets we harbor. As in Native Speaker , he writes of the ways outsiders conform in order to survive and the price they pay for doing so. It is a haunting, breathtaking display of talent by an acclaimed young author., The second novel from the critically acclaimed New York Times -bestselling author Chang-rae Lee.

The seller promptly shipped my book and did not play games with the shipping fee I paid (included in the price) . Several sellers include the shipping fee in the price but then when they ship they opt for a cheaper shipping fee so they profit from the difference while they let the customer wait for longer to receive the item. This HONEST seller did not do that. Transit time from GA to Miami was what I paid for and exactly 3 days in bubble envelopeWilliams-Sonoma Collection: Cake Gage, Fran (N° 146264786700)
