Gesture Life by Chang-Rae Lee
The tragic tension between Franklin's need to communicate the horror which has shaped his life, and the guilt which has kept him silent are at the heart of this unforgettable work of humane understanding.
Chang-rae Lee was born in Seoul, South Korea, in 1965, and emigrated to the United States when he was three. He was educated at Yale and is the director of the newly established writing programme at Hunter College in New York. His first novel, Native Speaker, is also available from Granta Books.
