Product Information
For anyone who has ever felt like they don't belong, Sigh, Gone shares an irreverent, funny, and moving tale of displacement and assimilation woven together with poignant themes from beloved works of classic literature. In 1975, during the fall of Saigon, Phuc Tran immigrates to America along with his family. By sheer chance they land in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, a small town where the Trans struggle to assimilate into their new life. In this coming-of-age memoir told through the themes of great books such as The Metamorphosis , The Scarlet Letter , The Iliad, and more, Tran navigates the push and pull of finding and accepting himself despite the challenges of immigration, feelings of isolation, and teenage rebellion, all while attempting to meet the rigid expectations set by his immigrant parents. Appealing to fans of coming-of-age memoirs such as Fresh Off the Boat, Running with Scissors, or tales of assimilation like Viet Thanh Nguyen's The Displaced and The Refugees , Sigh, Gone explores one man's bewildering experiences of abuse, racism, and tragedy and reveals redemption and connection in books and punk rock. Against the hairspray-and-synthesizer backdrop of the '80s, he finds solace and kinship in the wisdom of classic literature, and in the subculture of punk rock, he finds affirmation and echoes of his disaffection. In his journey for self-discovery Tran ultimately finds refuge and inspiration in the art that shapes--and ultimately saves--him.

Reviews
"I like to think that had I been born a much cooler, male, Vietnamese version of myself, Sigh Gone is the book I would have written. This glorious memoir is a reminder of the transformative power of literature and a tribute to friendships, music, and the unique kindness of Americans. I loved it!" -- Firoozeh Dumas , New York Times bestselling author of Funny in Farsi and Laughing Without An Accent "In Sigh, Gone , Phuc Tran offers a searing, trenchant, and hilarious chronicle of adolescence. His memoir seethes with all the shame and rage, loneliness and longing borne from cultural dislocation; thrums with all the fears and half-truths, anti-triumphs, and confused desires of that vicious and necessary American journey we call 'assimilation'. With this book, Tran not only puts himself on the literary map: he rips the map to pieces and tapes it back together as he--forever the bookish young punk--sees fit. The result: a refugee story of the most modern kind, told entirely on the author's own terms." -- Jaed Coffin , author of Roughhouse Friday "I want to gift this book to my witty friends, my well-read friends, my punk friends, and my Asian American friends. I also want to gift it to my witty, well-read, punk, Asian-American friend who will be so thrilled to know that a book has finally been written to show the world that, yes, we can be all these things. All at once, in all its mash-up glory. Sigh, Gone is a painfully--and I mean painfully-- funny book that seems to have collected all our best and worst memories, and turned them into a story told by a smart narrator who will not let us go. His voice will grab you by the hand, but also by your you-know-what, and remind you that for many of us, childhood was really no laughing matter." -- Cinelle Barnes , author of Monsoon Mansion " Sigh, Gone is a memoir reminiscient of Peter Orner and Michael Patrick MacDonald, a journey of self-discovery, humanizing experiences, and connections made through the punk rock counter culture and the thrills of being a life long reader. This is a powerfully entertaining and inspirational delight."-- Tim Huggins , bookseller at Brookline Booksmith, "Affecting, deeply-felt...a compelling story of an outsider discovering himself and a world where he fit in." -- Booklist (starred review) "Funny, poignant, and unsparing, Tran's sharp, sensitive, punk-inflected memoir presents one immigrant's quest for self-acceptance through the lens of American and European literary classics. A highly witty and topical read--an impressive debut." -- Kirkus (starred review) "Filled with euphoric flights of discovery, this complex and rewarding story of a book-enriched life vividly illustrates how literature can serve as a window to a new life." -- Publishers Weekly "The United States was already a better country because Phuc Tran refused to change his name. Then he went even further in changing this country by giving us this bold, funny, and profane memoir: a portrait of a young punk refugee and of heartland America itself, each of them as defiant and compelling as the other." -- Viet Thanh Nguyen , author of Pulitzer-Prize winning The Sympathizer and The Refugees "I like to think that had I been born a much cooler, male, Vietnamese version of myself, Sigh, Gone is the book I would have written. This glorious memoir is a reminder of the transformative power of literature and a tribute to friendships, music, and the unique kindness of Americans. I loved it!" -- Firoozeh Dumas , New York Times bestselling author of Funny in Farsi and Laughing Without An Accent "I started reading this book and couldn't stop. Phuc Tran has written the Great American Nerd-Punk Boyhood Memoir, a story that's rollicking and laugh-out-loud funny while also offering a piercingly profound look at race, the challenges of assimilation, and the inherently defiant act of growing up. Earnest, observant, and diamond-sharp, this is a new voice of unmistakable talent. I'll follow this writer anywhere." --Sara Corbett , coauthor of New York Times best-selling A House in the Sky "In Sigh, Gone , Phuc Tran offers a searing, trenchant, and hilarious chronicle of adolescence.
