Story
A disturbing tale of a young man's uncanny ability to remain both young and beautiful while descending into a life of heartless debauchery, The Picture of Dorian Gray was considered proof of both Wilde's genius and his perversion. Oscar Wilde's scandalous best seller of 1891 was one of the most damning pieces of evidence used against him in the trial that brought about his downfall.

To mix things up, Andrew develops an elaborate itinerary of planned chaos.

Story
Emery Thompson hates Calvin Chamberlain. From the way he acts like he’s better than everyone to the way he moves through the world thinking his podcast is the cream of the crop, every little thing about the man gets to him. Even that dashing, oh-so-confident smile. He’d rather be caught dead than be around the man any longer than necessary—or admit that last part out loud.

A story of family and history
I was impressed how Jay wove Chinese history throughout. I loved Kaiser’s narration and laughed out loud while commuting and listening to their story. Such a loving and diverse family! I also found myself identifying as a child of an elderly mother, making a note to be more empathetic. Truth is, though we come from diverse backgrounds, life learning may be similar. I was disappointed that I only had 56 minutes left this morning! I want it to go on! Surely, Ma has more to say! And I am excited as well for the future!

A stellar choice for my first audiobook
I’ve always been an avid reader, and although this book was well out of my usual wheelhouse, my appreciation for Jay’s charming glimpses shared on social media of his relationship with his redoubtable “Ma” — interspersed between his invaluable political analysis — inspired me to buy the book.
To my delight, I was treated to not only a touching memoir about a formidable (and funny) woman, but an engaging and artfully written tale of a remarkable family, stretching across oceans, decades and cultures. Kaiser’s narration and particularly his voice acting during dialogue really brought the story to life.
Congratulations on a wonderful book and performance, gentlemen — Ma would be proud.

Love MA!
Best audiobook I’ved listened to. I laughed and cried, and feel like I know Jay and the entire Kuo family. I really appreciated the historical context and can imagine how parts of it mirror that of my own family. The performance was outstanding.

A beautiful tribute
The memoir gives an insightful look into Chinese culture, especially from the first generation immigrant point of view. The book had me in tears by the end and wanting to go home and hug my own imperfect 85 yr old immigrant mother.

Fascinating, sad, and funny
Jay's story grabs you right away and takes you on a ride spanning decades and countries. The Kuo family history is told with depth and detail. MA was an amazing woman with a sharp wit and a deep love for her family. It's a wonderful story beautifully narrated by Jay's brother Kaiser, who does a great job with the different voices, especially MA's. I highly recommend this.
