"I fell in love with Crosby, Stills, and Nash's song 'Southern Cross' when I was fifteen. By the time I got to college, 'I'm going to sail around the world someday' was sort of my pickup line." Continue »

Publisher Comments:

Warm, funny, and deeply moving, Gus Lee's semi-autobiographical account of growing up in a conflict-ridden family, unable to fully embrace either American or Chinese culture, is an enthralling story of family relationships, the perils of boyhood, and the difficulty of being Chinese in 1950's San Francisco.

The title of this book says it all. What is what like to be identified as "that" person in 1950 America. To be immersed into two cultures and wanting to retain the old ways, but desperately trying to fit into mainstream American society. This book poses this akward experience which the majority of immigrants to this country faced when they arrived.
