Join the Wisconsin Book Festival for an evening with GOODBYE, VITAMIN author Rachel Khong and her latest novel, REAL AMERICANS.REAL AMERICANS begins at the precipice of Y2K in New York City when Lily Chen, the only child of scientists who fled Mao’s Cultural Revolution and Matthew, the heir to a vast pharmaceutical empire, fall in love. Flash forward to 2021, where fifteen-year-old Nick Chen, living with his single mother Lily, sets out to find his biological father—a journey that threatens to raise more questions than it provides answers.
In immersive, moving prose, Khong weaves a profound tale of class and striving, race and visibility, and family and inheritance—a story of trust, forgiveness, and finally coming home.
