Your Type of People
Victoria Yang
Description
Handsome, privileged, and intelligent, eighteen-year-old David Fang is about to attend one of the world’s most prestigious universities. The aspiring novelist is spending his last summer before college volunteering at a Christian sleepaway camp in upstate New York as penance for crashing his mother’s car into the family garage. However, what his family and friends back in New Jersey don’t know is that he is also seducing his married housekeeper, pitching his manuscript to a suspected pedophile, and igniting a divorce, manslaughter, and a suicide.
A fiendishly sardonic and intoxicating coming-of-age story from a debut voice, Your Type of People asks the question: Is there a limit to how much someone’s privilege can shield them from the consequences of their actions?
