Socialite. Magician.<BR><BR>Jordan Baker grows up in the most rarefied circles of 1920s American society-she has money, education, a killer golf handicap, and invitations to some of the most exclusive parties of the Jazz Age. She's also queer and Asian, a Vietnamese adoptee treated as an exotic attraction by her peers, while the most important doors remain closed to her.<BR><BR>But the world is full of wonders: infernal pacts and dazzling illusions, lost ghosts and elemental mysteries.

In all paper is fire, and Jordan can burn the cut paper heart out of a man. She just has to learn how.<BR><BR>Nghi Vo's debut novel, The Chosen and the Beautiful, reinvents this classic of the American canon as a coming-of-age story full of magic, mystery, and glittering excess, and introduces a major new literary voice.
