In his debut novel, Abraham Chang brings us Young Wang, the charismatic nerd who charts his life in vinyl and comic books. Young also obsessively relies on Chinese numerology, just waiting for lucky girlfriend number seven. But what if number six is “the one and only”? Anne Curzan is no stranger to having a lifelong passion, as exemplified in her deep dive into the English language. Where does it come from? How does it change? Who makes decisions about grammar? And when, for land’s sakes, can we just let it go? Come for a fresh take on your ABCs and 123s!
