Wrack and Ruin: A Novel

Wrack and Ruin: A Novel

â€œLee has outdone himself here. His prose moves and sparkles.â€ â€•Washington Post
Lyndon Song is a renowned sculptor who fled New York City to become a Brussels sprouts farmer in the small California town of Rosarita Bay. Lyndon has a brother, Woody, an indicted financier turned movie producer, and Woody has a plan involving a golf course on Lyndonâ€™s land and an aging kung-fu diva from Hong Kong with a mean kick and an even meaner drinking problem. Over one madcap Labor Day weekend, this plan wreaks havoc on Lyndonâ€™s bucolic and carefully managed lifeâ€•leading to various crises, adventures, and literatureâ€™s first-ever windsurfing chase scene.â€œA highly appealing novel that swerves ever so gracefully from rollicking humor to poignant moments of reflectionâ€ (Booklist), this hilarious and philosophical novel about the landscape of contemporary â€œmulticulturalâ€ America is Don Leeâ€™s best book yet.
