At first, I thought I was listening to a sports non-fiction work. It really sounded like Jeremy Lin. However, the name and other details (such as his ethnicity) were not quite right. The author has used the general framework of "Linsanity" to tell the story of the Korean-American experience. The basketball story is intertwined with the story of another character who is working on bringing Korean dramas to a wider audience. There are relationships involved and struggles with identities (especially when it goes through an adoption and "rediscovery" of the ancestral tongue. At times the story is told within the context of a Korean drama with its appropriate rules.
