Crazy Americans, by Stephen Ling, sometimes harrowing, sometimes humorous real-life story of the author’s journey from a precarious life in Singapore with his shady uncle to his pursuit of a personal dream to become a university professor. Along the way he finds himself on a cargo liner headed to Los Angeles, sharing the same roof with a bunch of crazy Americans, and the vulnerability, innocence, and strange identification that develops with his unexpected new acquaintances. Ling’s long held feeling that he was an alien in his own culture becomes reinforced by his new exposure to these equally alien, yet somehow kindred American spirits. And the notion strikes him that he might just be one of these crazy Americans; deep down inside, and his voyage is actually one of a journey back to something familiar, rather than a passage into the unknown. Written with pathos and honesty, Crazy Americans captures a truly original voice in an innocent and inspiring memoir of personal discovery.
