520    "From the New Yorker staff writer Hua Hsu, a gripping 
       memoir on friendship, grief, the search for self, and the 
       solace that can be found through art. In the eyes of 18-
       year-old Hua Hsu, the problem with Ken-with his passion 
       for Dave Matthews, Abercrombie & Fitch, and his fraternity
       -is that he is exactly like everyone else. Ken, whose 
       Japanese American family has been in the United States for
       generations, is mainstream; for Hua, a first-generation 
       Taiwanese American who has a 'zine and haunts Bay Area 
       record shops, Ken represents all that he defines himself 
       in opposition to. The only thing Hua and Ken have in 
       common is that, however they engage with it, American 
       culture doesn't seem to have a place for either of them. 
       But despite his first impressions, Hua and Ken become best
       friends, a friendship built of late-night conversations 
       over cigarettes, long drives along the California coast, 
       and the textbook successes and humiliations of everyday 
       college life. And then violently, senselessly, Ken is gone,
       killed in a carjacking, not even three years after the day
       they first meet. Determined to hold on to all that was 
       left of his best friend-his memories-Hua turned to 
       writing. Stay True is the book he's been working on ever 
       since. A coming-of-age story that details both the 
       ordinary and extraordinary, Stay True is a bracing memoir 
       about growing up, and about moving through the world in 
       search of meaning and belonging"--
