PULITZER PRIZE WINNER NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

A gripping memoir on friendship, grief, the search for self, and the solace that can be found through art, by the New Yorker staff writer Hua Hsu.

This book is exquisite and excruciating and will leave a lasting impression for years to come. Rachel Kushner, author of The Flamethrowers and The Mars Room.

At eighteen, Hua Hsu sees Ken—with his passion for Dave Matthews, Abercrombie & Fitch, and his fraternity—as emblematic of the mainstream. Ken, a Japanese American whose family has been in the United States for generations, contrasts with Hua, the son of Taiwanese immigrants, who makes zines and frequents Bay Area record shops. Despite their differences, Hua and Ken forge a friendship through late-night talks, coastal drives, and the shared experiences of college life. Tragically, Ken's life is cut short by a carjacking.

In the aftermath, Hua turns to writing to preserve his memories of Ken. Stay True is the culmination of that effort, a memoir that captures the nuances of coming of age and the quest for meaning and belonging.
