What Happened This Summer

This work provides a rare glimpse into the conflicted world of Canadian youth of Chinese origin. This new collection of short stories by Governor General’s Award winning author Paul Yee confronts the secret lives of Chinese-Canadian teenagers as they battle with their parents over schooling, careers, sexuality, religion and integration into North American culture. Once again Paul Yee offers readers a rare glimpse into the conflicted world of Chinese youth, some of whom are locally born while others have recently immigrated from Hong Kong, Taiwan and China.
