{"product_id":"tomorrow-in-shanghai-stories","title":"Tomorrow in Shanghai: Stories","description":"A short story collection exploring cultural complexities in China, the Chinese diaspora in America, and the world at large.\nIn a vibrant and illuminating follow-up to her award-winning story collection, Useful Phrases for Immigrants, May-lee Chai’s latest collection Tomorrow in Shanghai explores multicultural complexities through lenses of class, wealth, age, gender, and sexuality—always tracking the nuanced, knotty, and intricate exchanges of interpersonal and institutional power.\nThese stories transport the reader, variously: to rural China, where a city doctor harvests organs to fund a wedding and a future for his family; on a vacation to France, where a white mother and her biracial daughter cannot escape their fraught relationship; inside the unexpected romance of two Chinese-American women living abroad in China; and finally, to a future Chinese colony on Mars, where an aging working-class woman lands a job as a nanny. Chai's stories are essential reading for an increasingly globalized world.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1949467864\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: RDV.1949467864.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Chai, May-lee\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This book is in excellent condition.
