- Surreal tale…
Famous Adopted People
Fun-loving party girl Lisa, a Korean-born adoptee raised by white parents in America, is looking for a good time, not her birth mother. But when her best friend and fellow transracial adoptee convinces her to travel to Korea on a quest to find her biological parents, Lisa’s up for the adventure. It quickly turns into misadventure in this surreal tale filled with wacky humor, biting irreverence, and wild twists.
- Booker Prize winner…
Shuggie Bain
Winner of the 2020 Booker Prize. A deeply sympathetic story about poverty and addiction in 1980s Glasgow, and a cutting look at the impact of Thatcherism in Scotland. The titular character, the young Shuggie Bain, is desperate to escape the trappings of being poor and attain that elusive status of “normal”; his mother, Agnes, wants to stay sober but keeps falling back into alcoholism. “Challenging, intimate and gripping … anyone who reads it will never feel the same,” said the Booker Prize judges.
