{"product_id":"equal-love-9780618006991","title":"Equal Love","description":"\u003cp\u003ePeter Ho Davies's award-winning debut collection, \u003ci\u003eThe Ugliest House in the World\u003c\/i\u003e, drew comparisons to the work of Raymond Carver, James Joyce, and V. S. Naipaul. The \u003ci\u003eWashington Post\u003c\/i\u003e hailed it as \"astounding . . . Davies has left a unique, definitive footprint in the soil of contemporary short fiction.\" In his new collection, Davies's unforgettable characters--a Chinese son gambling with professional mourners, a mixed-race couple who experience a close encounter--strive for a love that transcends time, race, and sexuality. These are the stories of a sandwich generation--children of one century, adults of the next--caught between debts to their parents and what they owe their own offspring. Shot through with humor and grace, \u003ci\u003eEqual Love\u003c\/i\u003e confirms Davies's reputation as one of his generation's foremost writers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eDavies, Peter Ho:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePETER HO DAVIES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e's\u003c\/strong\u003e novel, \u003cem\u003eThe Fortunes\u003c\/em\u003e, won the Anisfield-Wolf Award and the Chautauqua Prize and was a \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e Notable Book of the Year.
