About this listen

Yadin Park is a talented alt-country musician whose career has floundered - doomed first by his homely looks and lack of stage presence and then by a progressive hearing disorder. His girlfriend, Jeanette Matsuda, might have been a professional photographer but for a devastating heartbreak in her teens. Now Yadin works for Jeanette's father's carpet-laying company in California while Jeanette cleans rooms at a local resort. When Yadin's former lover and musical partner, the celebrated Mallory Wicks, comes back into his life, private hopes and dreams are exposed and secret fantasies about love and success are put to the test. Beautifully sad and laced with dark humor, Lonesome Lies Before Us is a profound, heartfelt romance, a soulful and memorable song.

Memorable

It's been months since I listened to this story yet it's still resonating with me. For something I am reminded of Sofia Coppola's films, notably Lost in Translation and Somewhere. So if you like such cinematic experiences you might also like this novel. It's an overall slow but strikingly beautiful story about two lonely people. I also like the drawing of Asian American identity without resorting to stereotypes. There is an Asian American country singer, there is also an Asian American hotel cleaner--these characters feel real and relatable. I am considering reading a physical copy of this book. I will definitely listen to this book again.
