Nell Freudenberger's The Dissident
Really quick comments, b/c ANTM is about to start! When Freudenberger's Lucky Girls came out, I remember a lot of articles about how she was all young and pretty. I think from now on, the articles will be about her writing--b/c this book was DANG GOOD. It's about a Chinese revolutionary artists type who comes to LA on a fellowship to teach at a girls' school and do some art shows. This novel interweaves his story with that of the family hosting him, and all the characters are just really well drawn. So to speak. OK, tv time!
