Games or medicine? Who will win the attention of our hero in the new graphic novel by Gene Luen Yang? Dennis Ouyang parents have high expectations for their child: they would like to become a doctor. But Dennis, in fact, just wants to play games, and it is so good that it can be done at a professional level.
Four adorable angels, sometimes a little 'bossy, arriving just in time to bring Dennis to the right path: that of gastroenterology. It's all part of the plan, they said. But is it true? A powerful magical realism puts into sharp relief the conflict that many adolescents live: to pursue their dreams or those of their parents? Thanks to the design is deceptively simple and really beautiful Thien Pham, Gene Luen Yang is back on the issues outlined in American Born Chinese.
Sometimes whimsical, sometimes serious, Level Up is his new look at what he has chosen to tell, as an Asian becomes large in the United States. The first graphic novel GENE YANG with First Second, American Born Chinese, was published in over ten foreign countries. American Born Chinese was an immediate success with critics and public, was a finalist for the National Book Award and won the Printz Award.
Gene Yang is also a cartoonist for The New York Times. Thien Pham is a cartoonist and visual artist who teaches in a school. His first "solo", Sumo, is forthcoming from First Second.
