Аннотация: Sly, funny, intelligent, and artfully structured, The Fortunes recasts American history through the lives of Chinese Americans and reimagines the multigenerational novel through the fractures of immigrant family experience.Inhabiting four lives — a railroad baron’s valet who unwittingly ignites an explosion in Chinese labor, Hollywood's first Chinese movie star, a hate-crime victim whose death mobilizes Asian Americans, and a biracial writer visiting China for an adoption — this novel captures and capsizes over a century of our history, showing that even as family bonds are denied and broken, a community can survive — as much through love as blood.Building fact into fiction, spinning fiction around fact, Davies uses each of these stories — three inspired by real historical characters — to examine the process of becoming not only Chinese American, but American.
