In 'A Gesture Life', Chang-rae Lee introduces us to Franklin Hata, a model citizen in a small town in New York, whose life is marked by courtesy and discretion. However, Hata harbors a dark past as Ziro Kurohata, a Korean in Japan who even served in the army. As the novel progresses, Lee reveals Hata's secrets, exploring themes of identity, assimilation, and the scars of war. This moving story invites us to reflect on how the past can shape our present and how gestures, both big and small, can define a life.
Chang-rae Lee is a Korean-American novelist and a professor of creative writing at Stanford University. He was previously Professor of Creative Writing at Princeton and director of Princeton University's Program in Creative Writing.
