I was once a doctoral student, and that experience drew me to Elaine Hsieh Chou's book Disorientation: A Novel. The story is about Ingrid Yang, a Taiwanese-American PhD student who has devoted years of time, effort, and considerable resources to completing her dissertation on a little-known but revered Chinese American poet.

I accompanied Huang on a comedic and insightful journey filled with conflicting emotions that offered reflections on the immigrant experience in a globalized world.
When Eddie Huang found out Tom Hanks had COVID, he made a split-second decision to cop a flight to Taipei. It was in the thick of the pandemic, before we had much information at all besides to mummify ourselves and cry in a corner of our bedrooms listening to James Blake if we wanted to survive. All Eddie wanted was to get in his room, order room service, and enter a 30-day dumpling coma—after which, he figured, this whole thing would be over.
