As he lay in his hospital bed, slipping in and out of consciousness, his days punctuated by the beeps of the machines that were keeping him alive, Choy heard the voices of his ancestors warning him that without a wife, he would one day die alone. And yet through his ordeal Choy was never alone; men and women, young and old, from all cultures and ethnicities, stayed by Choy’s side until he was well. When his heart failed him a second time, four years later, it was the strength of his bonds with these people, forged through countless acts of kindness, that pulled Choy back to his life. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNot Yet\u003c\/b\u003e is a passionate, sensitive, and beautiful exploration of the importance of family, which in Choy’s case is constituted not through blood but through love. It is also a quiet manifesto for embracing life, not blind to our mortality, but knowing how lucky we are for each day that comes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                                    \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                                    \u003cp\u003eWayson Choy’s first novel, \u003cb\u003eThe Jade Peony\u003c\/b\u003e, spent six months on \u003ci\u003eThe Globe and Mail\u003c\/i\u003e’s national bestseller list, shared the Trillium Book Award for best book in 1995, and won the 1996 City of Vancouver Book Award. \u003cb\u003eAll That Matters\u003c\/b\u003e, a companion novel to \u003cb\u003eThe Jade Peony\u003c\/b\u003e, won the Trillium Book Award in 2004 and was shortlisted for the 2005 Giller Prize.
