Disorientation

 

Disorientation / Elaine Hsieh Chou, read by Jennifer Kim, 403 pgs.

Ingrid Yang is taking her time writing her dissertation on a distinguished Chinese American poet.  She has never been that "into" her topic but her advisor pushed hard for it.  One day, she thinks she sees the poet...odd, since he passed away.  Now she needs to figure out the mystery.  Is Ingrid a meek Asian woman?  Or can she get out there and figure out why she is sure the poet is still alive.  This is a very funny romp through the world of academia where shedding a little light can shred a bunch of people's life work.
