Ha Jin has a new book out, A Free Life. I've read three other Jin novels and have loved each of them (particularly the most recent, War Trash). A Free Life is the first book to come along since I started my Graham Greene journey that has tempted me to take a break. If you're not familiar with Jin, John Updike has a nice article in the New Yorker that gives you a good idea of Jin as a novelist in general, and of A Free Life in particular.
