The Wangs vs. the World is an outrageously funny tale about a wealthy Chinese-American family that "loses it all, then takes a healing, uproarious road trip across the United States" ( Entertainment Weekly ). Their spectacular fall from riches to rags brings the Wangs together in a way money never could. It's an epic family saga and an entirely fresh look at what it means to belong in America.

This is a novel I wish I could write, have been dying to read, and hope everyone else reads, too."- Charles Yu, author of Sorry Please Thank You and How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe "Jade Chang's debut novel is a heartbreaking, hilarious, and honest American epic: a road trip that's an ultimate escape from our parents' American dream, toward an unknown destination that's both more vulnerable and more hopeful." - J.
