At once lyrical and steely-eyed, For Today I Am a Boy portrays to readers an unforgettable struggle: that of a woman in the body of a Chinese Canadian man.
Sensitive, witty and stunningly assured, Kim Fu's universally acclaimed debut novel is a coming-of-age tale like no other and marks the emergence of an astonishingly powerful new voice in Canadian literary fiction.
"Written with unwavering focus Kim Fu explores the shape of gender and culture in a unique and mesmerizing story populated with characters who are fragile and strong all at once, who invite us to become them as they struggle with who they ultimately are. An important and rewarding read." -- Steven Galloway, Giller Award winning author of The Cellist of Sarajevo
