Описание: A Taiwanese American womans coming of consciousness ignites eye-opening revelations and chaos on a college campus in this outrageously hilarious yet startlingly tender debut novel

29-year-old PhD student Ingrid Yang is desperate to finish her dissertation on the late canonical poet, Xiao-Wen Chou, and never read about Chinese-y things again. But after four years of painstaking research, she has nothing but anxiety and stomach pain to show for her efforts. When she accidentally stumbles upon a strange and curious note in the Chou archives, she convinces herself its her ticket out of academic hell.

But Ingrids in much deeper than she thinks. Her clumsy exploits to unravel the notes message lead to an explosive discovery, one that upends her entire life and the lives of those around her. With her trusty friend Eunice Kim by her side and her rival Vivian Vo hot on her tail, together they set off a rollercoaster of mishaps and misadventures, from campus protests and OTC drug hallucinations, to book burnings and a movement that stinks of Yellow Peril propaganda.

In the aftermath, nothing looks quite the same to Ingrid--including her gentle and doting fiancй, Stephen Greene. When he embarks on a book tour with the super kawaii Japanese author hes translated, doubts and insecurities creep in. At the same time, she finds herself drawn to the cool and aloof Alex Kim (even though she swears hes not her type). As the events Ingrid instigated keep spiraling, shell have to confront her sticky relationship to white men and white institutions--and most of all, herself.

An uproarious and bighearted satire, alive with sharp edges, immense warmth, and a cast of unforgettable characters, Disorientation is both a blistering send-up of white supremacy in academia, and a profound reckoning of a Taiwanese American womans complicity and unspoken rage. In this electrifying debut novel from a provocative new voice, Chou asks who gets to tell our stories--and how the story changes when we finally tell it ourselves.
