520    For fans of Chang-Rae Lee, Min Jin Lee, and The Big Short,
       a moving novel about love, sacrifice, ambition, and 
       greed—and a financial crisis  With the rapidly cascading 
       Asian Financial Crisis threatening to go global and Korea 
       in imminent meltdown, investment banker Dae Joon finds 
       himself back in his native Seoul as part of an 
       international team brought in to rescue the country from 
       sovereign default. For Dae Joon—also known by his American
       name of Shane, after the cowboy movie his father so 
       loved—the stakes are personal.  Raised in the US and 
       Harvard Business School–educated, Dae Joon is a jangnam, a
       firstborn son, bound by tradition to follow in the 
       footsteps of his forebears. But rather than pursue the 
       path his scholar-father wanted, he has sought a career on 
       Wall Street, at the epicenter of power in the American 
       empire. Now, as he and his fellow bankers work feverishly 
       with Korean officials to execute a sovereign bond offering
       to raise badly needed capital, he knows that his own 
       father is living on borrowed time, in the last stages of a
       disease that is the family curse. A young woman he has met
       is quietly showing the way to a different future. And when
       his closest friend from business school, a scion of one of
       Korea's biggest chaebol, asks his help in a sale that may 
       save the conglomerate but also salvage a legacy of 
       corruption, he finds himself in personal crisis, torn by 
       dueling loyalties, his identity tested.
