THE APPLE OF HIS EYE IS HIS SON MALI, FOR WHOM HE FEELS A DEEP BUT
ABSURDLY EMBARRASSED AFFECTION, WHICH APPEARS TO GO UNREQUITED. WHEN
MALI COOLLY ANNOUNCES THAT HE IS ABANDONING SCHOOL TO GO TO AMERICA TO
BECOME A WRITER, JAGAN`S FATHERLY FEELINGS ARE THROWN INTO STILL
GREATER CONFUSION. AND WHEN, A YEAR OR TWO LATER, MALI RETURNS WITH A
HALF-KOREAN, HALF-AMERICAN WIFE AND A GRANDIOSE SCHEME FOR MARKETING A
NOVEL-WRITING MACHINE, JAGAN IS UTTERLY AT SEA. HE IS CONFRONTED BY THE
NEW WORLD SHOCKINGLY PERSONIFIED - A WORLD WHERE HIS CHERISHED NOTIONS
OF MARRIAGE AND MORALS SEEM TO COUNT FOR NOTHING. THE TRAGICOMIC CLASH
OF THE GENERATIONS DEEPENS WITH EVERY CHAPTER. JAGAN`S FINAL ESCAPE
FROM THE GALLING CHAINS OF PATERNAL LOVE COMES AS UNEXPECTEDLY AS EVERY
OTHER TWIST IN THIS DELICIOUS STORY.
