Description
A Taiwanese American PhD student desperate to escape the messiness of her field finds herself pulled into a chaotic campus mystery that begins with a single cryptic note in the archives—and spirals into revelations that upend her life. As Ingrid’s well-intentioned attempts to decode the past collide with protests, propaganda, and the uncomfortable politics of “who gets to tell the story,” her search for academic closure becomes a reckoning with privilege, power, and complicity. Equal parts razor-sharp satire and tender coming-of-consciousness, the novel tracks how identity, desire, and institutional bias distort what we think we know. With Elaine Hsieh Chou’s fast, funny, and incisive voice, *Disorientation* turns misadventure into a high-stakes meditation on race, belonging, and the stories we inherit versus the ones we choose to claim.
