Looking for Tank Man

“A novel for our times: a coming-of-age story about protest.” —Literary Hub, Most Anticipated Books of the Year

“Looking for Tank Man is a deeply moving and important novel, shaped by meticulous research and illuminated by Ha Jin’s singular voice. Spanning Harvard, Flushing, and Beijing, it traverses geographies and timelines to tell the powerful story of one young woman’s quest for knowledge, and how her findings reshape her understanding of her homeland and herself. This is a novel that captures the urgency of reckoning with atrocity, the intergenerational weight of history, and how the past—once uncovered—continues to shape our moral consciousness. A vital, haunting story about truth, memory, and the price of knowing.” —Michelle Min Sterling, New York Times bestselling author of Camp Zero

Praise for The Woman Back from Moscow:

“[Ha Jin] conveys in supple prose what Beijing inevitably will regard as too much truth about the history of the [Chinese Communist Party]…with a deft pen fueled by reading, imagination, and empathy, he reveals mental life…the most extraordinary achievement of the novel is its brilliantly credible evocation of the ordinary.” —New York Review of Books

“An epic historical novel of communist China, illuminated through the life of an extraordinary real-life woman…The redemption of a historical figure whose life ended in political disgrace.” —Kirkus Reviews
