Description
"I loved this book and cant stop talking about it. . . . Transcendent." —Carolyn See, The Washington Post
In the tradition of Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress, Wang Gangs English is a captivating coming-of-age novel about the power of language to launch a journey of self-discovery. When a new teacher—a tall, elegantly dressed man from Shanghai carrying an English dictionary under his arm—comes to Urumqi, the capital of Chinas far west region of Xinjiang, twelve-year-old Love Liu turns away from Chairman Maos little red book and toward the teachers big blue book for answers to his most pressing questions about love and life. But as a whole new world begins to open up for him, Love Liu must face a test more challenging than any hell take in the classroom.
