Two teenage girls meticulously plan how to kill and cook their downstairs neighbor. An American au pair moves to Paris to find herself, only to find her actual French doppelgänger. A father reunites with his estranged daughter in unusual circumstances: as a background actor on the set of her film. A writer’s affair with a married artist tests the line between fact and fiction, self-victimization and the victimization of others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIn these six singular stories and a novella that pivot from the terrible to the beautiful to the surreal, Elaine Hsieh Chou confronts the slipperiness of truth in storytelling. With razor-sharp precision and psychological acuity, she peels back the tales we tell ourselves to peer beneath them: at our treacherous desires, our self-deceptions and our capacity for cruelty, both to ourselves and each other. Expansive and provocative, Where Are You Really From is a visionary achievement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eAuthor: Elaine Hsieh Chou\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eFormat: Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003ePages: 352\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eDimensions: 9.6 in H | 6.4 in W | 1.2 in T\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eOn sale date: August 19, 2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003ePublisher: Penguin Press\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Penguin Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48242505318614,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/6649\/7238\/files\/WhereAreYouReallyFrom.jpg?v=1778539940","url":"https:\/\/telegraphhillbooks.com\/products\/where-are-you-really-from","provider":"Telegraph Hill Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
