The Chosen and the Beautiful -Vo, Nghi - Paperback

The Chosen and the Beautiful

Author: Vo, Nghi

Binding: Paperback
Pub Date: March 29, 2022

Jordan Baker grows up in the most rarefied circles of 1920s American society—she has money, education, a killer golf handicap, and invitations to some of the most exclusive parties of the Jazz Age. She’s also queer and Asian, a Vietnamese adoptee treated as an exotic attraction by her peers, while the most important doors remain closed to her.

But the world is full of wonders: infernal pacts and dazzling illusions, lost ghosts and elemental mysteries. In all paper is fire, and Jordan can burn the cut paper heart out of a man. She just has to learn how.

Nghi Vo’s debut novel, The Chosen and the Beautiful, reinvents this classic of the American canon as a coming-of-age story full of magic, mystery, and glittering excess, and introduces a major new literary voice.
This debut novel, where the new gods are ready to devour the old, is rich with the literary magical realism of The Paper Menagerie and introduces a major new crossover voice.
