About this Book
In Carrie Chang's award-winning fifth novel, The Quack, set in the beloved postcard city of Chinatown, San Francisco, red planetary mists converge with hexagonal bagua wonder as old Chinese families gather with ghostly vexation, debating everything under the sun with sluggish pride and keen neo-religiosity. The young protagonist, Isabelle Wu, abandons her dual-track journalism career to become a lollygagger in whodunit plaid. She discovers that the Bohemian life has its own possibilities and rewards, soon encountering a quack who pleads with her in the mighty language of the occult-offering to cure her Chinatown blues with an off-color foot rub. This book is a must-read for anyone who has ever heard a frenzied ghost in the wall or felt a Peking duck fascination. A Chinese fortune-cookie literary special, it will make your eyes pop, and your hair turn righteous colors in the dark.
In SF's Chinatown, former journalist Isabelle Wu swaps her career for plaid, encountering occult quacks and ghostly vexation in this whimsical tale.
