With a deceptively simple yet graceful style, and in the tradition of Lara Vapnyar, Jhumpa Lahiri, and Gish Jen, Frances Hwang captures the thousand minor battles waged in the homes of immigrants—struggles to preserve timehonored traditions or break free of them, to maintain authority or challenge it, and to take advantage of modern excesses without diluting one's ethnic identity.
In "Garden City," a weary Chinese couple, struggling to evict their deadbeat tenant, is forced to face the aftermath of their teenage son's death from cancer. And in "The Old Gentleman," a daughter becomes alienated from her father when he finds love—or what he thinks could be love—in his old age. Frances Hwang is a powerful talent, and TRANSPARENCY not only showcases her myriad gifts, but also announces the arrival of an exciting new voice.

Months later, I remember scenes like a father driving in a car with his kids, or a woman in an elevator, going down. Simple stuff, but the author describes the ordinary surroundings with such detail, then takes that extra step into her characters -- and now I can't forget them. Yes, a lot of times it's sadness that's revealed, but it's not done in a heavy way. There's great humor and innocence. Can't wait for her next book.
