로스앤젤레스 타임스, 줌파 라히리 등 평단과 언론이 극찬한 퓰리처상 최종 후보 이창래 작가의 신작!
이민자 부모의 다정한 사랑을 받는 집 안, 그리고 폐허가 된 야구장과 잡초 무성한 주차장, 녹슨 정글짐을 누비며 거리를 주름잡는 아이들 무리 속 집 밖. 한국계 미국인 소년 '전기'는 서로 다른 두 세계 사이에서 정체성의 번민을 겪습니다. 사고를 치고 또 헤쳐 나가는 일상이 전부였던 열한 살의 그 여름, 전기는 자신과 가족의 울타리를 넘어 커다란 파장을 일으킬 충격적인 사건들에 휘말리게 됩니다.
아메리칸드림의 턱밑까지 다가선 한 가족과 공동체, 그리고 어른의 세계라는 절벽 끝에 선 한 소년의 이야기. 자신의 책임과 죄책감을 똑바로 직시하다가도 외면해 버리고, 결국 평생에 걸쳐 이를 반추하게 될 소년의 운명은 어디로 향하게 될까요?
'Who is a greater novelist than Chang-rae Lee?' Los Angeles Times'He has redefined not only what it means to be American, but the fabric of the Great American Novel itself.' Jhumpa Lahiri'Chang-rae Lee can do no wrong in my mind - I devoured Lee's last novel, My Year Abroad, and I can't wait for this one.' LitHubFrom the Pulitzer Prize shortlisted novelist, a story of guilt, innocence, and a boy on the cusp of adolescence'Lee's latest novel is a tale of almosts: a family of working-class immigrants almost living the American dream; an 11-year-old boy, almost transitioning into adulthood and straddling the worlds of his doting Korean parents and a semi-feral gaggle of neighborhood kids.' New York Times Most Anticipated Books of 2026A spellbinding exploration of masculinity and family dynamics as seen through the confused eyes of a prepubescent child of immigrants, A Tender Age joins the rich tradition of the coming-of-age novel. The natural descendent of characters like Huckleberry Finn and Holden Caufield, Korean-American Jeon-Gi is torn between competing ideas of himself. At home, his working-class parents dote on him. Outside, he is part of a roving pack of kids with dominion over a derelict baseball field, weedy parking lot, and rusty jungle gym. Getting into and out of trouble is all-consuming. But the summer he turns eleven, he becomes embroiled in a staggering series of events reverberating far beyond himself and his family.Devastating in its emotional precision, A Tender Age captures a family and community in striking distance of the American dream, and a young person on the precipice of adult knowledge, looking at his own culpability and looking away - then thinking about it for the rest of his life.
