About This Item
New York: Riverhead Books, 1999. First Edition . Hardcover. Fine/Good. Inch tear along top corner, front of dlj. "A Gesture Life" is the story of a proper man, an upstanding citizen, who has come to epitomize the decorous values of his New York suburban town. Courteous, honest, hardworking, and impenetrable. Franklin Hata, a Japanese man of Korean birth, is careful to never overstep his bounds and to make his neighbors comfortable in his presence. A story of a forbidden love lost, and the way outsiders conform and the price they pay for it.
Synopsis
A Gesture Life is a novel written by Chang-Rae Lee which takes the form of a narrative of an elderly physician who remembers treating Korean comfort women for the Japanese Imperial Army during World War II.
