From the author of PEN/Faulkner finalist Disappear Doppelgnger Disappear and Craft in the Real World comes a 'a smart, very meta take' (Kirkus Reviews) on the ways Asian Americans navigate the thorny worlds of sports and entertainment when everything is stacked against them. An Asian American basketball star walks into a gym. No one recognizes him, but everyone stares anyway. It is the start of a joke but what is the punchline? When Won Lee, the first Asian American in the NBA, stuns the world in a sevengame winning streak, the global media audience dubs it The Wondermuch to Wons chagrin. Meanwhile, Won struggles to get attention from his coach, his peers, his fans, and most importantly, his hero, Powerball!, who also happens to be Wons teammate and the captain. Covering it all is sportswriter Robert Sung, who writes about Won's stardom while grappling with his own missed hoops opportunities as well as his place as an Asian American in media. And to witness it all is Carrie Kang, a big studio producer, who juggles a newfound relationship with Won while attempting to bring Kdrama to an industry not known to embrace anything new or different.The Sense of Wonder follows Won and Carrie as they chronicle the human and professional tensions exacerbated by injustices and fight to be seen and heard on some of the worlds largest stages. An incredibly funny and heartrending dive into race and our collective imagination that lays bare our limitations before blasting joyfully past them (Catherine Chung). This is the work of a gifted storyteller at the top of his game.USA Today's 20 Most Anticipated Books of WinterSalon's 22 Books We're Looking Forward to in 2023Philadelphia Inquirer's Best New Books to Kick Off 2023Los Angeles Times's Best Books of JanuaryEsquire's January 2023 Book Club PickVulture's 30 Books We Can't Wait to Read This WinterChicago Review of Books's 12 MustRead Books of January 2023The Orange County Register's Most Anticipated of 2023Powell's Picks of the MonthBook Culture's Most Anticipated Books of JanuaryApple Books's Staff Picks of JanuaryVanity Fair's 8 Books We Can't Stop Talking About This MonthLiterary Hub's Best Book Covers of January
