A frat boy with terrible taste in music. For Hua, who makes zines and haunts indie record shops, Ken represents the mainstream. The only thing Hua, the son of Taiwanese immigrants, and Ken, whose Japanese American family has been in the US for generations, have in common is that American culture doesn’t seem to have a place for either of them.But despite his first impressions, Hua and Ken become friends, a friendship built on late-night conversations over cigarettes, long drives along the California coast, and the successes and humiliations of everyday college life. And then violently, senselessly, Ken is gone, killed in a carjacking, not even three years after the day they first meet.Capturing a coming-of-age cut short, and a portrait of a beautiful friendship, Stay True is an intimate memoir about growing up and moving through the world in search of meaning and belonging.'One of the best nonfiction books about friendship ever, right up there with Patti Smith’s Just Kids' – The AtlanticLanguage: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 197mmItem Length: 131mmItem Width: 19mmItem Weight: 171gAuthor: Hua HsuGenre: Music Dance & TheatreTopic: Social Sciences, Society & Culture, BiographyRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
