Emerson is a Taiwanese man living in America when his mother dies. Her last request is that he will scatter her ashes in Taiwan and that he find his baby brother. He does both of these things but his brother is not such a baby and is involved in the criminal underworld. The Foreigner is "a comic tale of crime and contrition about what it means to be a foreigner, even in ones family" I fell into this book and didn't look up until the very end, very Good!
