“Spectacular.”—Vogue Xuan Juliana Wang's remarkable debut
introduces us to the new and changing face of Chinese youth. From
fuerdai (second-generation rich kids) to a glass-swallowing qigong
grandmaster, her dazzling, formally inventive stories upend the
immigrant narrative to reveal a new experience of belonging: of young
people testing the limits of who they are, in a world as vast and
varied as their ambitions. In stories of love, family, and
friendship, here are the voices, faces and stories of a new generation
never before captured between the pages in fiction. What sets them
apart is Juliana Wang’s surprising imagination, able to capture the
innermost thoughts of her characters with astonishing empathy, as well
as the contradictions of the modern immigrant experience in a way that
feels almost universal. Home Remedies is, in the words of Alexander
Chee, “the arrival of an urgent and necessary literary voice we’ve
been needing, waiting for maybe, without knowing.” Praise for
Home Remedies “A radiant new talent.”—Lauren Groff “These
dazzling stories interrogate the fractures, collisions and glorious
new alloys of what it means to be a Chinese millennial.”—Adam
Johnson, author of the Pulitzer Prize–winning The Orphan Master’s
Son “Home Remedies doesn’t read like a first collection; like
Jhumpa Lahiri’s Interpreter of Maladies, the twelve stories here
announce the arrival of an exciting, electric new
voice.”—Financial Times “Stylistically ambitious in a way rarely
seen in prose fiction . . . Writing like this will never stop
enlightening us. [Wang’s] voice comes to us from the edge of a new
world.”—Los Angeles Review of Books
