Belinda Huijuan Tangs debut novel is a beautifully drawn, sensitively rendered portrait of a man desperately searching for his fatherand for reconnection to the past and people he once knew and loved. Both rich in historical detail and timeless in scope, A Map for the Missing explores the costs of choosing your own path, whether whats left behind can ever be retrieved, and whether it is possible to forgive the wounds we inevitably inflict on each other. Celeste Ng, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Little Fires Everywhere
An engrossing saga of a young mathematician caught between two countries, two cultures, two eras, and two loves. Set against the violent turmoil of the Chinese Cultural Revolution, this powerful debut explores the wrenching impact of political ideologies on individual lives in a way that is resonant and timely. Ruth Ozeki, author of The Book of Form and Emptiness and A Tale for the Time Being
An epic, mesmerizing debut novel set against a rapidly changing postCultural Revolution China, A Map for the Missing reckons with the costs of pursuing ones dreams and the lives we leave behind
Tang Yitian has been living in America for almost a decade when he receives an urgent phone call from his mother: his father has disappeared from the familys rural village in China. Though they have been estranged for years, Yitian promises to come home.
When Yitian attempts to piece together what may have happened, he struggles to navigate Chinas impenetrable bureaucracy as an outsider, and his mothers evasiveness only deepens the mystery. So he seeks out a childhood friend who may be in a position to help: Tian Hanwen, the only other person who shared Yitians desire to pursue a life of knowledge. As a teenager, Hanwen was sent down from Shanghai to Yitians village as part of the countrys rustication campaign. Young and in love, they dreamed of attending university in the city together. But when their plans resulted in a terrible tragedy, their paths diverged, and while Yitian ended up a professor in America, Hanwen was left behind, resigned to life as a midlevel bureaucrats wealthy housewife.
Reuniting for the first time as adults, Yitian and Hanwen embark on the search for Yitians father, all the while grappling with the pastwho Yitians father really was, and what might have been. Spanning the late 1970s to 1990s and moving effortlessly between rural provinces and big cities, A Map for the Missing is a deeply felt examination of family and forgiveness, and the meaning of home.
