A propos de cet article

Paperback. K. M. Peng's brief memoir offers a brutally honest account of the struggles involved in coming of age. What makes this memoir special is that the author was born in Los Angeles to Chinese parents who eventually returned to their homeland. Thanks to his dual nationality, he spent his youth experiencing two unique cultures that, despite their differences, still share a great deal in common, especially when it comes to family and personal relations. This brief memoir, written when he was just 16 and attending an elite boarding school in southern California, describes the author's efforts to deal with the transition from adolescence to adulthood, while absorbing the sudden suicide of his father, a successful distributor of French wines in China. The tragedy occurs while he is separated from his family, still in Shanghai, and must deal with the implications of his father's death while totally alone. Many people have written about the experience of coming of age, but most, with the possible exception of the French poet Rimbaud, have done so after the fact. K. M. Peng's account invites readers into the author's thoughts as he embarks on a unique journey of self-discovery that quickly becomes a page-turner. Besides being a refreshing, if brutally honest, writer, K. M. Peng is also a talented artist. A number of intriguing collages are included in the book. Each constitutes a visual clue into the author's inner thoughts. This is a compelling story by an exciting young talent and a gifted artist who is mature beyond his years. A coming-of-age memoir by a young student in an elite, southern California boarding school who must come to terms with the sudden suicide of his father. The tragedy occurs while he is separated from his family by the Pacific Ocean. This item is printed on demand.
