Reviews
This is a spectacular essay collection, as eloquent and stylishly written as it is morally essential. With lucidity and unsentimental humanity, Wesley Yang shows us a new type of forgotten man, one whose suffering is primarily psychological. We often think of the brutality of private life as the natural province of fiction or memoir, but Yang combines the novel's power to dissect personal psychology with the breadth, directness and raw honesty of the essay. A stunning achievement, this book deserves to be read and re-read for years to come., Fierce and refreshing...The cry for individual identity can be no louder than in Wesley Yang's piercing collection., Wesley Yang's pen is sharp, his imagination adventurous and his empathy devastating. His words snap a messy world into focus., A terrifically honest writer, Wesley Yang articulates feelings others are too afraid to call up, let alone confront. This collection is essential because it adheres to no ideology; Yang panders to no one. Instead, with sharp, and even Naipaulian, prose, he takes us deep into the discomfort zones of racial and political discourse., The cry for individual identity can be no louder than in [this] piercing collection...[F]ierce and refreshing., Incisive and provocative...Yang provides piercing, prickly insight into the challenges Asian-Americans face from racial and cultural bias, with literary style., [Yang] channels the extremity of his subject matter into a marvelous style, a fluency and clarity...Magnetic., With gonzo candor and intellectual capaciousness, Yang's Du Bois-inflected essays probe the identity crises of Asian American men and their 'peculiar burden of nonrecognition.'

Synopsis
The National Magazine Award-winning writer's debut collection of incisive, stylish essays on race and gender., The National Magazine Award-winning writer's debut collection of incisive, stylish essays on race and gender. One of the most acclaimed essayists of his generation, Wesley Yang writes about race and sex without the jargon, formulas, and polite lies that bore us all. His powerful debut, The Souls of Yellow Folk , does more than collect a decade's worth of cult-reputation essays--it corrals new American herds of pickup artists, school shooters, mandarin zombies, and immigrant strivers, and exposes them to scrutiny, empathy, and polemical force. In his celebrated and prescient essay "The Face of Seung-Hui Cho," Yang explores the deranged logic of the Virginia Tech shooter. In his National Magazine Award-winning "Paper Tigers," he explores the intersection of Asian values and the American dream, and the inner torment of the child exposed to "tiger mother" parenting. And in his close reading of New York Magazine 's popular Sex Diaries, he was among the first critics to take seriously today's Internet-mediated dating lives. Yang catches these ugly trends early because he has felt at various times implicated in them, and he does not exempt himself from his radical honesty. His essays retain the thrill of discovery, the wary eye of the first explorer, and the rueful admission of the first exposed., One of the most acclaimed essayists of his generation, Wesley Yang writes about race and sex without the jargon, formulas, and polite lies that bore us all.
