About this Book

Chinese literary genius David Tan has just started teaching at Steinbeck University's prestigious freshman writing program. He has one small problem, however--he speaks broken English. His students scorn him and his colleagues snub him. David craves support from his gorgeous American wife Laura, but she is too busy battling a sinister high-tech conspiracy at work to care about a husband she has stopped loving. Nor can he look for sympathy from his father, who had opposed David's marriage and has stopped speaking to him. The only joy in David's life is helping Chinese-American student Melissa develop her business plan--until she too turns him the cold shoulder.David's career and marriage are near collapse, Laura faces dismissal or worse, and Melissa's enterprise is on the verge of failure. Will fortune intervene?Wordless deftly interleaves marital drama, techno-thriller, and romantic comedy into a fast-paced narrative that bridges popular and literary fiction.
