THE SENSE OF WONDER by @m.salesses is finally here! "a smart, very meta take" (according to Kirkus Reviews) on the ways Asian Americans navigate the thorny worlds of sports and entertainment when everything is stacked against them. 🏀"Throughout The Sense of Wonder, Salesses refuses to shy away from frank discussions of race or racism, even as he centers the hopes and fears, frustrations and professional triumphs, of his protagonists. Salesses also declines to bench a complex formal device that would, in the hands of a lesser writer, dissolve under pressure as the clock runs out. Above all, the novel chooses itself. Like 'the Wonder' or 'Linsanity,' you may just have to see it to believe."—Kristen Evans, The Boston Globe 🇰🇷"What Salesses does here is a remarkable feat of artistic prowess that somehow blends the themes of K-drama with the spectacle of sports drama in a way that resets our frame of reference for the Korean American experience. Indeed, it’s a move that doesn’t seem entirely possible until you see the jump yourself."—Ron Charles, The Washington Post ⛹🏻"Matthew Salesses strikes the perfect balance between humor and heart-wrenching insights on the limitations of our collective imagination."—Chicago Review of Books Did we steal these photos from editor extraordinaire, @vleebooks? Yes, yes we did.
