That Man in Our Lives by Xu Xi

New York is the perch from which Xu Xi examines the shifting balance of power between China and the US, set against a tale of lifelong friendships between Gordon Ashberry—"Gordie" or "Hui Guo"—and his two best friends Harold Haight and Larry Woo and their families. That Man In Our Lives is Xu's metafictional answer to the late 18th Century Chinese classic novel, Cao Xueqin's Dreams of Red Chambers. From $9.99 SHOP NOW /
