For anyone who has ever felt like they don't belong, Sigh, Gone shares an irreverent, funny, and moving tale of displacement and assimilation woven together with poignant themes from beloved works of classic literature. In 1975, during the fall of Saigon, Phuc Tran immigrates to America along with his family. By sheer chance they land in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, a small town where the Trans struggle to assimilate into their new life. In this coming-of-age memoir told through the themes of great books such as The Metamorphosis, The Scarlet Letter, The Iliad, and more, Tran navigates the push and pull of finding and accepting himself despite the challenges of immigration, feelings of isolation, and teenage rebellion, all while attempting to meet the rigid expectations set by his immigrant parents. Appealing to fans of coming-of-age memoirs such as Fresh Off the Boat, Running with Scissors, or tales of assimilation like Viet Thanh Nguyen's The Displaced and The Refugees, Sigh, Gone explores one man’s bewildering experiences of abuse, racism, and tragedy and reveals redemption and connection in books and punk rock. Against the hairspray-and-synthesizer backdrop of the ‘80s, he finds solace and kinship in the wisdom of classic literature, and in the subculture of punk rock, he finds affirmation and echoes of his disaffection. In his journey for self-discovery Tran ultimately finds refuge and inspiration in the art that shapes—and ultimately saves—him.

What an amazing book. I am NOT a writer, but I am a voracious reader. I will do my best to sum up what I read, and my own recollections of Phuc growing up. He was always the Luke Skywalker to my Han Solo. We were inseparable from kindergarten through the 2nd grade, and I don't think I ever really noticed that he was "different" other than the fact that he had the coolest freaking eyes ever. (full disclosure, I clearly appear in the memoir, my hanged name is purposely transparent, but I would have known even if it wasn't) We were separated from each other by our second grade teacher, Mrs Boose, who thought we were too disruptive for each other. This was both good and bad, as it did quell the disruption, but as Phuc was my only real friend at that point (I still take a very long time to make friends, a trait Phuc does not have), the bottom fell out for me in 3rd grade. Phuc and I didn't really wind up talking again until high-school when the cliques we had fallen into or become part of weren't totally simpatico. We did however both still retain our mutual love of all things Star Wars. So... Background aside... I had No IDEA what had gone on in Phuc's life, and many of the horrors he faced. This book was just so relavatory to me, and presented in such a fantastic way. Phuc, I absolutely can not wait to hear about your girls reading this!Oh... Last thing, my paste addition ended in kindergarten, but I do still laugh at inappropriate times.Thanks so much for writing this! Here's to the amazing snow forts on Walnut Bottom Road!
