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.
Praise for The Wangs vs. the World One of EW´s Most Anticipated Titles of 2016 "Fresh, energetic, and completely hilarious, The Wangs vs. the World is my favorite debut of the year."- Jami Attenberg, author of Saint Mazie and The Middlesteins "Funny, brash, honest, full of wit and heart and smarts. 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. Ryan Stradal, author of Kitchens of the Great Midwest
