This was to be Rae Carruth's breakout season. The first-round NFL draft pick for the Carolina Panthers hadn't lived up to the promise he showed in 1997, when he led the league's rookie wideouts with 44 catches and 545 receiving yards. First, a broken foot kept him out for nearly all of the 1998 season; then he was sidelined by a sprained ankle in October.

How Hata handles his past and the constant tension between social acceptance and his chronic sense of not belonging finally have little to do with his origins. Chang-rae Lee, whose first novel, 1995's Native Speaker, announced the arrival of a new talent, makes sure of Hata's humanity by giving him an inner life independent of ethnicity and suburban status. But the contrast between Hata's appearance and his reality would surely surprise most of his neighbors...
