"I loved this book and can't stop talking about it. . . .
Transcendent." -Carolyn See, The Washington Post In the tradition
of Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress, Wang Gang's English is
a captivating coming-of-age novel about the power of language to
launch a journey of self-discovery. When a new teacher-a tall,
elegantly dressed man from Shanghai carrying an English dictionary
under his arm-comes to Urumqi, the capital of China's far west
region of Xinjiang, twelve-year-old Love Liu turns away from
Chairman Mao's little red book and toward the teacher's big blue
book for answers to his most pressing questions about love and
life. But as a whole new world begins to open up for him, Love Liu
must face a test more challenging than any he'll take in the
classroom.
