{"product_id":"9781642257434","title":"The Yin and the Yang of It All : Rock'n'Roll Memories from the Cusp as Told by a Mixed-Up, Mixed-Race Kid","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 1966—the Year of the Horse, not to mention Revolver and Pet Sounds — John Kim Faye was born out of wedlock to a 40-year-old Korean mother and a 62-year-old Irish father. Faye grew up in the state of Delaware, where laws forbidding interracial marriage were still on the books until 1967.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs the lead singer and primary songwriter of the Caulfields, Faye was one of the only mixed-race Asian American frontman to sign a major record contract in the alternative rock heyday of the 1990s. In an era that preceded K-Pop—and even the rise of the internet—Faye's personal journey did not lead to superstardom. Instead, The Yin and The Yang of it All is a memoir about the discovery of a voice, a tribe, and a musical ethnicity that runs far deeper than his Korean\/Irish roots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBookended by the loss of this father against the backdrop of his tumultuous childhood in the post-Vietnam 70s and his mother's tragic passing in 2012, Faye's story weaves a tapestry of revealing moments as told from his unique perspective on the cusps of identity, race, and fame.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Advantage Media Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48852461945067,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":54.91,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9781642257434-1.jpg?v=1781696365","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/products\/9781642257434","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
