INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER
A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK
NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY VOGUE, TIME, AND MARIE CLAIRE

“A manifesto to happiness—the one found when you stop running from who you are.” –New York Times Book Review

“An extraordinary book, acrobatic on the level of the sentence, symphonic across its many movements—and this is a book that moves…My Year Abroad is a wild ride—a caper, a romance, a bildungsroman, and something of a satire of how to get filthy rich in rising Asia.” – Vogue

From the award-winning author of Native Speaker, On Such a Full Sea, and the forthoming novel A Tender Age, an exuberant, provocative story about a young American life transformed by an unusual Asian adventure – and about the human capacities for pleasure, pain, and connection.


Tiller is an average American college student with a good heart but minimal aspirations. Pong Lou is a larger-than-life, wildly creative Chinese American entrepreneur who sees something intriguing in Tiller beyond his bored exterior and takes him under his wing. When Pong brings him along on a boisterous trip across Asia, Tiller is catapulted from ordinary young man to talented protégé, and pulled into a series of ever more extreme and eye-opening experiences that transform his view of the world, of Pong, and of himself.

In the breathtaking, “precise, elliptical prose” that Chang-rae Lee is known for (The New York Times), the narrative alternates between Tiller’s outlandish, mind-boggling year with Pong and the strange, riveting, emotionally complex domestic life that follows it, as Tiller processes what happened to him abroad and what it means for his future. Rich with commentary on Western attitudes, Eastern stereotypes, capitalism, global trade, mental health, parenthood, mentorship, and more, My Year Abroad is also an exploration of the surprising effects of cultural immersion—on a young American in Asia, on a Chinese man in America, and on an unlikely couple hiding out in the suburbs. Tinged at once with humor and darkness, electric with its accumulating surprises and suspense, My Year Abroad is a novel that only Chang-rae Lee could have written, and one that will be read and discussed for years to come.

Very well made! I would highly recommend!
Color: Z-flowers, Color: Z-flowers
I have been through iPad cases for other iPads in the past so this time I did some research. This case was among the top recommendations I found. It fit all my personal criteria so I went ahead and ordered it. I’ve used it for a few weeks now and have been pleased with it. The functions and feel of it hasn’t disappointed! The magnet to hold it together like a notebook is sturdy and strong and when I use it to watch something the magnet flips to the other side. One review complained you had no where for it to go, not an issue. The design I chose is perfect and the pattern on “latch” matches up perfectly with case when closed. This case was well constructed and put together as if they put pride into their work. This is not a quality easy found in merchandise these days. I will buy again and recommend this company for future cases as long as they continue this fine craftsmanship!

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great iPad Case – Protective, Stylish, and Almost Perfect
Color: 1-Black
This iPad case is really well made and has quickly become our go-to for everyday use. It fits the iPad perfectly, feels sturdy in hand, and offers great protection without making the device bulky. The material feels high quality, and the case looks just as good in person as it does in the listing photos. What I love: • Snug, secure fit for the iPad • Solid protection for everyday bumps and drops • Sleek design that doesn’t add unnecessary weight • Easy access to buttons, ports, and camera • Great value for the price The only reason this is a four-star review is because it does not stand up on its own in a vertical/portrait position. It works well for flat use and angled viewing, but if you’re hoping to set it upright on end without support, this case won’t do that. Aside from that one limitation, this is an excellent iPad case that I’d still happily recommend. If standing on end isn’t a must-have feature for you, this case is a great buy and one I’d purchase again.

Great product
Color: 1-Black
Fits perfectly with iPad 11” (A16). It also holds the pencil really well. The case is a little heavy but protects the iPad perfectly.

The quality of the case is beautiful. For the money it’s exceptional- The closure is easy to open but stays closed when it is supposed to ! I was also pleased to see it had a spot for a stylus. I love the vibrant blue color .
