Requests:  0 Summary:  "For anyone who has ever felt like they don't belong, Sigh, Gone shares an irreverent, funny, and moving tale of displacement and assimilation woven together with poignant themes from beloved works of classic literature. In 1975, during the fall of Saigon, Phuc Tran immigrates to America along with his family. By sheer chance they land in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, a small town where the Trans struggle to assimilate into their new life. In this coming-of-age memoir told through the themes of great books such as The Metamorphosis, The Scarlett Letter, The Iliad, and more, Tran navigates the push and pull of finding and accepting himself despite the challenges of immigration, feelings of isolation, teenage rebellion, and assimilation, all while attempting to meet the rigid expectations set by his immigrant parents. Appealing to fans of coming-of-age memoirs such as Fresh Off the Boat, Running with Scissors, or tales of assimilation like Viet Thanh Nguyen's The Displaced and The Refugees, Sigh, Gone explores one man's bewildering experiences of abuse, racism, and tragedy and reveals redemption and connection in books and punk rock. Against the hairspray-and-synthesizer backdrop of the '80s, he finds solace and kinship in the wisdom of classic literature, and in the subculture of punk rock, he finds affirmation and echoes of his disaffection. In his journey for self-discovery Tran ultimately finds refuge and inspiration in the art that shapes--and ultimately saves--him"   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 305.80097 Tran Tr Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 305.80097 Tran Tr Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 305.80097 Tran Tr Checked In Add Copy to MyList CLOSED TEMPORARILY: Honokaa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 305.80097 Tran Tr Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Nonfiction 305.80097 Tran Tr Checked In Add Copy to MyList Laupahoehoe P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 305.80097 Tran Tr Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 305.80097 Tran Tr Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Biography 305.80097 Tran Tr Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wailuku Public Library Adult Nonfiction 305.80097 Tran Tr Checked In Add Copy to MyList
