WHAT IS THE MESSAGE HIDDEN BEHIND A POLITE SMILE?In Yong Takahashis Atlanta, the immigrants, preachers wives, strippers, and shopkeepers who pass each other on the street all have a secret story to tell. Caught between generations of family, regrets from their pasts, conflicting cultures, and even countries, each character has a reason to fiercely guard their secret lives, even as they learn that the truth must escape. Takahashis characters chase their American dreams down back alleys and campaign trails, stumbling under the weight of the gifts their families have given them. A box of Boraxo hand soap. Change for the vending machine. A strangers drivers license. A mothers love. The smallest exchange could prove kill or cure when you walk the streets of Candyland.A beautifully wrought series of stories and vignettes.Pinckney Benedict, author of the awardwinning Miracle Boy and Other StoriesDark and addictive literary confectionery . . . compelling the reader to devour the contents in one sittingthen return to savor the unsavory, again and again.MARI ANN STEFANELLI, The Writers HighThe Escape to Candyland covers the everyday extraordinary with . . . characters whose struggles and small victories are authentic.
