| 520 | |a "A cult classic, FIXER CHAO-which was named a Los Angeles Times Book of the Year-by New Yorker contributor Han Ong, delivers a sharp and insightful narrative about racial and social hierarchy, personal identity, and alienation William Paulinha, a resourceful, gay Filipino sex worker, is attempting to turn over a new leaf when he crosses paths with Shem C.-a disgraced author cast out by both his spouse and New York's elite literary circles. Seeking retribution, Shem enlists William in his scheme to strike back at the world that dismissed him, forming an unlikely alliance. What begins as a friendship soon morphs into an elaborate con. With Shem as his mentor, William reinvents himself as Master Chao, a highly sought-after Feng Shui consultant. As their scheme grows in scale and sophistication, William is drawn deeper into the lives-and secrets-of the city's wealthy and powerful. Blending sharp satire with poignant reflections on identity, ambition, and deception, the novel charts one man's journey through transformation, illusion, and the unexpected costs of the American Dream"-- Provided by publisher. | ||
