NEW YORK TIMES EDITORS CHOICE A witty, moving, piercingly insightful new novel about a marvelously complicated woman who cant be anyone but herself, from the awardwinning author of ChemistryLONGLISTED FOR THE ANDREW CARNEGIE MEDAL A deeply felt portrait . . . With gimleteyed observation laced with darkly biting wit, Weike Wang masterfully probes the existential uncertainty of being other in America.Celeste Ng, author of Little Fires EverywhereONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The New York Times Book Review, The New Yorker, NPR, The Washington Post, VoxJoan is a thirtysomething ICU doctor at a busy New York City hospital. The daughter of Chinese parents who came to the United States to secure the American dream for their children, Joan is intensely devoted to her work, happily solitary, successful. She does look up sometimes and wonder where her true roots lie: at the hospital, where her white coat makes her feel needed, or with her family, who try to shape her life by their own cultural and social expectations.Once Joan and her brother, Fang, were established in their careers, her parents moved back to China, hoping to spend the rest of their lives in their homeland. But when Joans father suddenly dies and her mother returns to America to reconnect with her children, a series of events sends Joan spiraling out of her comfort zone just as her hospital, her city, and the world are forced to reckon with a health crisis more devastating than anyone could have imagined.Deceptively spare yet quietly powerful, laced with sharp humor, Joan Is Okay touches on matters that feel deeply resonant: being ChineseAmerican right now; working in medicine at a highstakes time; finding ones voice within a dominant culture; being a woman in a maledominated workplace; and staying independent within a tightknit family. But above all, its a portrait of one remarkable woman so surprising that you cant get her out of your head.
