Come Undone: A Novel

"In his subversively funny first novel, the bestselling author of Fresh Off the Boat delivers a portrait of a haunted manchild and his messy search for love, with hilarious and insightful takes on sex, dating, food, culture, intimacy, and masculinity along the way. "Come for the satirical millennial cringe and over-the-top luxury lifestyle fantasy, stay for the surprisingly sensitive portrayal of a bombastic, bighearted Asian American dudebro who risks it all for a chance at the real thing."-Jean Chen Ho, author of Fiona and Jane Hubie lives an exciting life. He hosts a traveling food show, works with his best friend, and samples the best the world has to offer. There's only one problem: his love life. Hubie treats his romantic partners as courses on a tasting menu. His one rule when it comes to love: three months and it's over. Hubie is no hubby. Then he meets Anastasia, a mysterious woman who seems to share his approach to life-she wants fun, sex, and the freedom to depart before dawn. They have chance encounters in glamorous locations around the world-a luxury spa in the Utah desert, a cliffside hideaway in Jamaica, exclusive Los Angeles parties-where they party and flirt with electric energy, but are always with other partners. When they finally connect, the chemistry is undeniable. Just as they find a way to be together, the specters of their pasts-the secrets and burdens beneath their carefree exteriors-arise to threaten everything. Will they truly embrace each other, flaws and all? Can they shake off shame, regret, and the lingering weight of old wounds to open themselves fully to love? Sharply comic but with hidden depths, Come Undone is about how we run from love and how it hunts us down."

Fresh Off the Boat: A Memoir

"NOW AN ORIGINAL SERIES ON ABC • "Just may be the best new comedy of [the year] . . . based on restaurateur Eddie Huang's memoir of the same name . . . [a] classic fresh-out-of-water comedy."-People   "Bawdy and frequently hilarious . . . a surprisingly sophisticated memoir about race and assimilation in America . . . as much James Baldwin and Jay-Z as Amy Tan . . . rowdy [and] vital . . . It's a book about fitting in by not fitting in at all."-Dwight Garner, The New York Times   NATIONAL BESTSELLER • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY KIRKUS REVIEWS   Assimilating ain't easy. Eddie Huang was raised by a wild family of FOB ("fresh off the boat") immigrants-his father a cocksure restaurateur with a dark past back in Taiwan, his mother a fierce protector and constant threat. Young Eddie tried his hand at everything mainstream America threw his way, from white Jesus to macaroni and cheese, but finally found his home as leader of a rainbow coalition of lost boys up to no good: skate punks, dealers, hip-hop junkies, and sneaker freaks. This is the story of a Chinese-American kid in a could-be-anywhere cul-de-sac blazing his way through America's deviant subcultures, trying to find himself, ten thousand miles from his legacy and anchored only by his conflicted love for his family and his passion for food. Funny, moving, and stylistically inventive, Fresh Off the Boat is more than a radical reimagining of the immigrant memoir-it's the exhilarating story of every American outsider who finds his destiny in the margins.   Praise for Fresh Off the Boat   "Brash and funny . . . outrageous, courageous, moving, ironic and true."-New York Times Book Review   "Mercilessly funny and provocative, Fresh Off the Boat is also a serious piece of work. Eddie Huang is hunting nothing less than Big Game here. He does everything with style."-Anthony Bourdain   "Uproariously funny . . . emotionally honest."-Chicago Tribune   "Huang is a fearless raconteur. [His] writing is at once hilarious and provocative; his incisive wit pulls through like a perfect plate of dan dan noodles."-Interview   "Although writing a memoir is an audacious act for a thirty-year-old, it is not nearly as audacious as some of the things Huang did and survived even earlier. . . . Whatever he ends up doing, you can be sure it won't look or sound like anything that's come before. A single, kinetic passage from Fresh Off the Boat . . . is all you need to get that straight."-Bookforum"
