Descriere magazin:
Hailed as an auspicious debut novel by The New Yorker, this sophisticated tale recalls the love affair of a Korean man scarred by war and the troubled daughter of a wealthy Southern American family. This wonderful hybrid of a novel--a love story, a war story, a novel of manners--introduces a writer of enchanting gifts, a beautiful heart wedded to a beautiful imagination. How else does Susan Choi so fully inhabit characters from disparate backgrounds, with such brilliant wit and insight? The Foreign Student stirs up great and lovely emotions. -- Francisco Goldman, author of The Ordinary Seaman The Foreign Student is the story of a young Korean man, scarred by war, and the deeply troubled daughter of a wealthy Southern American family. In 1955, a new student arrives at a small college in the Tennessee mountains. Chuck is shy, speaks English haltingly, and on the subject of his earlier life in Korea he will not speak at all. Then he meets Katherine, a beautiful and solitary young woman who, like Chuck, is haunted by some dark episode in her past. Without quite knowing why, these two outsiders are drawn together, each sensing in the other the possibility of salvation. Moving between the American South and South Korea, between an adolescent girl\'s sexual awakening and a young man\'s nightmarish memories of war, The Foreign Student is a powerful and emotionally gripping work of fiction.
