Publisher’s Weekly has ten of their picks for best books this year. Here’s one. The Surrendered by Chang-rae Lee. PW says: “Grim, but so is Dostoyevski. Lee, who can craft a sentence, follows several decades in the lives of an American soldier and a Korean orphan whose paths cross during the Korean War, the reverberations of which, Lee shows, are now deeply woven into the fabric of what it means to be American.”
