Wayson Choy?s first novel, The Jade Peony, won the City of Vancouver Book Award in 1996 and was the inaugural winner of the Vancouver Public Library?s ?One Book, One Vancouver? competition in 2002. During a promotional tour for the novel, Choy learned that he had been adopted, a discovery that informs his second book, a memoir called Paper Shadows: A Chinatown Childhood. His new novel, All That Matters, is a sequel to The Jade Peony.
