The Dissident

A Chinese performance artist travels to Los Angeles to exhibit and teach, and quickly finds himself embroiled in the lives of his host family and his students. Nell Freudenberger, after making a big splash with her short fiction in the New Yorker and her collection, LUCKY GIRLS, has written a smart and sophisticated debut novel.
