A Tender Age
by Chang-rae Lee
Chang-rae Lee returns with A Tender Age, a coming-of-age novel that puts guilt inside the body of an eleven-year-old and never quite lets him set it down. It's literary fiction at its most exacting: a working-class Korean-American childhood rendered with more precision than nostalgia, and a family drawn into the fallout of one boy's summer.
