Book Synopsis
"Riveting, moving, and—most impressive—agile and resourceful in its approach to race. Don Lee explores that issue from every conceivable angle, raising a thousand questions and undercutting easy answers." —Jennifer Egan

Trade Review
"Heartbreaking, sexy, and frequently funny." -- Stephen Lee - Entertainment Weekly
"Hilarious and winning." -- John Freeman - Boston Globe
"Don Lee is a phenomenal writer that you absolutely should know and The Collective is a book you absolutely should read." -- Christian Science Monitor
"Offering strong characterizations and thought-provoking prose, Lee addresses the Asian American experience from various vantage points, realistically examining themes ranging from personal relationships to racism and artistic censorship. His novel has enough depth to spark uninhibited discussion in any book group and given its time frame, will have special meaning for Gen X readers." -- Library Journal
"A fine prose stylist…he credibly addresses the political and social concerns of a specific demographic, while also rendering a work that will feel relatable to nearly everyone who reads it." -- Time Out New York
