Gifted with a beautiful soprano voice, Fee, a Korean-American child growing up in maine, sings in a professional boys' choir. When the choir director molests several boys in the choir, Fee and his friends are consumed by grief, shame, and pain that endure long after the choir director is arrested and imprisoned for his crimes.
Years later, as Fee tries to move forward in his life, he meets a student named Warden -- the choir director's son, who knows nothing of his father's heinous crimes -- and is left with no choice but to confront the demons and ghosts of his brutal past.
A poignant work of mature, haunting artistry, Edinburgh heralds the arrival of a remarkable young writer.

"At the heart of Alexander Chee's Edinburgh is the belief that fiction can still engage in earnest, vital truth-telling, that the dialogue between the novel and the larger culture isn't one-sided, that a story can hold up something to its readers besides an ironizing, distorting mirror. One feels great passion in Chee's prose." —Peck
"EDINBURGH has the force of a dream and the heft of a life. And Alexander Chee is a brilliant new writer." —Dillard
"Alexander Chee is an exciting new voice. He has a unique point of view and the words with which to express them. He mixes deftly the physical and the abstract and the metaphysical and the sensual. I will read anything he writes." —Bram
