"This is a wholly enthralling vision of the American Dream as observed and experienced by one suspended in a liminal place - accepted, but not really a part of the whole; apart, but not quite separate. Vo gives us a dreamy, sharply-drawn glamour; a vibrant, penetrating exploration of character. The Chosen and the Beautiful is exactly enough - but why not indulge with a reread?" --- NPR
