520    "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 Scarlett Letter, The Iliad, and 
       more, Tran navigates the push and pull of finding and 
       accepting himself despite the challenges of immigration, 
       feelings of isolation, teenage rebellion, and assimilation,
       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"|cProvided by publisher.
