O tym tytule

Jack Chen, the oldest son of caterers from Queens, is an expert at studying the rich from afar. When he finagles his way into a prestigious internship at tech giant K.O. Systems, he’s prepared to fake everything: his credentials, his confidence, even his past. What he isn’t prepared for is his officemate, Jack Owens, the depressed son of the company’s billionaire founder, who’s only there for a summer reprieve from his father’s scrutiny at the family lake house.

Their connection is immediate, built on mutual admiration. Chen sees in Owens the advantages he’s been denied; Owens sees in Chen someone free of the pain he’s been taught to hide. Owens, Chen, and Chen’s girlfriend quickly become close friends, but by summer's end the three can no longer outrun the lies they’ve told themselves and each other. As pressures build throughout the next few years, the two Jacks circle each other like opponents in their favorite board game, Go, each chasing the life the other was born into, from career to family to lovers. But the path to success and matters of the heart can test even the closest of friendships—and not all of them survive.

Nostalgic, heart-wrenching, and propulsive, Tiger’s Mouth is a nuanced portrait of complex friendship, family dynamics, and love in its most unexpected forms.

Opinie krytyków

A stunning story of friendship and family, love and belonging . . . I absolutely adored it

A thrilling story about ambition and friendship that left me breathless. Chen and Owens are at once familiar and unlike any characters I’ve ever met, their decades-long dance between artifact and vulnerability slowly revealing the very nature of intimacy itself. Tiger’s Mouth dazzled me

Tiger’s Mouth vividly captures the tumultuous beauty of growing up and growing into oneself, as ‘the Jacks’ tangle with each other, with the past, with a changing world, and with the peril of truly being seen. I loved this dazzling, incisive, and tender story of friendship

Sharp-edged . . . Tan brings the two friends to vivid life, showing how they define themselves in the other’s image

Brilliant ... With its complex friendships and sharp observations, Tiger’s Mouth is a thoughtful portrait of the ways people reinvent themselves to find belonging—and the costs of doing so

Compelling ... expertly examines class, privilege, and family duty through the unlikely relationship between two Jacks from wholly different worlds

Beautifully written and well-paced

A thoughtful and gratifying novel, suggesting class may be the most meaningful barrier to friendship

A remarkable achievement: a novel whose deep attention to character is equaled by its propulsive plotting and incisive social commentary. Lucy Tan pairs a Sally Rooney–like eye for psychological nuance with a thoughtful exploration of 2020s America, from racial inequity to the paradoxes of healthcare and technology. The result is a wise, clear-eyed, and compassionate work of art

A rare page-turner that is also compassionate, wise, and finely observed. Through a cast of characters who come to feel as familiar as family, Lucy Tan asks questions about the costs of power and privilege, friendship across class, and seemingly unalterable societal strictures. This is a novel—assured, propulsive, insightful—about what we inherit and what we create for ourselves, and the relationships that might transcend it all
