    About this ebook

    “One of the funniest, most touching and bizarre nonfiction books I’ve read.”
    —Boston Globe

    Larry’s Kidney is Daniel Asa Rose’s wild-and-crazy memoir about his trip to Beijing, China, to help his black-sheep cousin Larry receive an illegal kidney transplant, collect a mail-order bride, and stop a hit-man from killing their uncle. An O. Henry Prize winner,  a two-time recipient of PEN Fiction Awards, and a 2006 National Endowment for the Arts Literary Fellow, Rose has written “a surprisingly fun, and moving, book with resonance” (Chicago Tribune).

      Adult nonfiction; travel/memoir/miscellany. Goes off for a bit towards the end but a decent narrative. Reveals a little more about China: the smog we already know about, but I found the various layers of humanity displayed (and hidden) by the Chinese to be intriguing.
    • 1/5
      The subject of LARRY'S KIDNEY is simple and nearly the entire plot of the book is described in the extended title. The book is a memoir, describing how the author, Dan, was convinced to accompany his cousin Larry to China to obtain an illegal organ transplant and meet his mail-order bride, Mary. Dan is not close to Larry, because Dan comes from a family of wealthy elites and Larry, by a stroke of ill-luck, is a first cousin who was raised without the benefits of money and education. Dan calls Larry a "friendly family pornographer-type" and over the course of the novel the reader discovers that Larry is a scumbag who enjoys airing his many repulsive opinions, like his attitude about the source of donor organs in China ("This non-prisoner needs a kidney. Execute someone of my blood type!"), or his decision as a professor at a state college in Miami to accept sexual favors in return for good grades (he calls it "Private Tutoring" and sneers contemptuously about one student not quite pretty enough to qualify: "Very light-skinned but still not my type.")

      Dan, for his part, ignores Larry's impolitic ideas (when Larry says something horrible, Dan thinks it is "so against every principle of decency I've been brought up to believe, that all I can do is pretend it came from someone else...and change the topic"), while stereotyping and judging the Chinese. He makes fun of the Chinese when they speak poor English ("I will talk hard balls to you" instead of "Let's talk hardball"), sees a group of elderly Chinese couples waltzing in an open-air plaza, jumps to the conclusion that they are all former Red Guards and demands, aghast, "How can they be dancing, after all they've done, like Nazis doing a jig on the graves of their victims?"), and spends a lot of time with a pretty young tour guide, Jade, protesting all the while that he's a happily married man.

      Dan isn't sure how to find a kidney for his cousin, and he only has a week to find a solid lead before the two will continue on to neighboring countries to continue their search. Dan finds out about a weekly Jewish prayer meeting and decides that he will attend it, then approach the local religious community to find out if anyone there has the right connections. Luckily enough, one of the other worshippers knows a well-regarded doctor who can circumvent the law, and is willing to call in a favor to get Larry into the hospital and at the front of the line for a kidney.

      Dan installs Larry at the hospital, where the two wait for two months before an organ becomes available. During this time, Dan and Larry reminisce about family and childhood, Larry gets to know his mail-order bride better (he dumps her as soon as she has sex with him and starts looking for another), and Dan re-discovers China. Dan has occasional moral qualms about helping Larry to obtain an illegal kidney - but when it comes down to it and Dan understands that Larry will receive the kidney of a freshly executed prisoner, with no sure knowledge of what crime the man committed, he's committed to the operation too thoroughly to back down.

      The operation is a success, and Dan and Larry return home to the states. Before they leave, Dan asks Larry to do him a favor in return for spending two months of his life helping Larry get an organ transplant - he asks Larry to call off an assassination he's ordered, planning to kill an uncle of theirs, Burton, in retaliation for insulting Larry's mother before her death. Larry has included Burton's murder in his will. But Larry refuses; his gratitude doesn't stretch that far.

      I found LARRY'S KIDNEY incredibly offensive. Larry is a horrible person, and the book is predicated on the idea that someone else will die in order to prolong Larry's life. There's very little action so as readers we spend most of the book getting to know Larry and his many faults. Dan isn't much better - he recognizes the many murky moral issues surrounding the kidney transplant but he sets them aside, then proceeds to judge the Chinese people he meets very harshly, for real and imagined faults. The whole book is in poor taste.

      Daniel Asa Rose has chosen to write this book about his trip to China to secure a kidney transplant for his cousin in a humourous way. And, it is funny at times. However, the humour masks some very serious ethical issues around organ donation and transplant. As Americans with money, Daniel and cousin Larry are able to travel to China and move to the front of the line to secure a kidney from an executed prisoner. Many people do not choose to donate their organs and few countries have made organ donation automatic unless people specifically opt out. By writing the book in a humourous way, Mr. Rose is able to largely ignore the deeper moral implications of what he and Larry are doing. Those implications haunted me as I read the book and lessened my overall enjoyment of it.Similarly, while Mr. Rose professes a deep affection for China ant he many people who helped him and Larry, his use of dialogue and the way he described several Chinese people suggested an undercurrent of superiority.So, disturbing to read, but this book does provoke thought about our health care system and our values. All in all, I'm glad to have read it.

      Larry is fading fast and has no other options when he asks his estranged cousin Dan to accompany him to China on a legally dubious journey to procure a new kidney (and check out a potential bride he met on the Internet). For some reason, Dan agrees to leave his family to travel on this mission. China is a different world filled with smog, crowds, and people speaking broken English who may or may not be trustworthy. Through a series of chance (or are they?) acquaintances, Larry and Dan eventually arrive in an industrial city, find a surgeon, and then wait 2 months for an organ to become available (reportedly from an executed prisoner). Just reading about their time in China, I experienced culture shock and intense homesickness and desire for the familiar, and for that reason was happy to finish the book.
    • 4/5
      Larry's Kidney is certainly an interesting tale of adventure and deception. Larry enlists the help of his cousin Daniel to travel with him to China and illegally get a kidney transfer that he knows will come too late if he waits around in the U.S. for it. As the story moves you find out that the kidney isn't the only reason why Larry wants to go to China, that there is much more to Larry than what Daniel knows, and that Daniel and Larry are in alot of danger. This isn't the normal type of book I would have picked up at the local books store, however, I probably would have picked it up at a swap meet, yard sale, or Goodwill. It was certainly worth the price I paid for it, free (ty early reviewers program), and I would recommend it to anyone who wants something different that will keep their mind wondering what's going to happen next.

      I enjoyed this book quite a bit. I received a copy through the Early Reviewers program. The personalities were interesting and well described - I felt like a knew them by the end of the book. The only thing that turned me off was it got a little sappy and preachy in the last chapter or two, but all in all it was very entertaining.
    • 3/5
      At it's heart Larry's Kidney is an entertaining adventure of two men redefining their relationship with each other and the world through a journey to find one of them a new kidney. It's a great concept with two interesting characters.The big problem though is the author constantly gets in the way of his story. From using slap shot dialect (which just doesn't work) to running sections from the real to the fantasy and back again (literary whiplash) the author constantly interferes with what could be a delightful book.One of the biggest problems with the book is just how self aware it is. Sections describing a seedy part of one Chinese city are cut off in a way that suggests that the author couldn't be quiet honest with his feelings or impressions of the section for fear of reprisals from his spouse. Another relationship is characterized as a 'father - daughter' like affection where it clearly seems otherwise.But what frustrates me the most is the final act of the book where the characters actually discuss how the story should be told when its adapted to a book.There's a ton of potential in Larry's Kidney, it just needed the author to let go of his tight control of the story and really get inside the core relationship of the two main characters. Drop the dialect gag, stop having fantasy and then saying "this is how it really happened" and focus on Dan and Larry.
    • 4/5
      I enjoyed reading this book. It was not a difficult read; chronological and uncomplicated. Having traveled to other countries, I know and understand what Daniel was going through trying to communicate what he wanted. However, it seemed his cousin Larry was not so appreciative of Daniel's help. Going to a foreign country for six weeks and trying to get a kidney seems quite a bit to ask of a not-so-close relative. However, reading it was an adventure. It's never easy to get things done in another country but Daniel does his best for Larry.

      May I say that if you have any morals at all you will not buy this book…and I thank God I got it for free and did not line Mr. Rose‘s pocket with my hard earned book-buying money.The writing is poor, the supposed “humor” isn’t funny, the over use of Larry’s speech impediment was extremely annoying, the non-stop use of dialect writing was in very bad taste…everything is just over done and I have to wonder how this book every got the green light.If I could find some brain Brillo being sold by Amazon I would have it sent to me over night so I could get the remnants of this book out of my head. This was the most painful book I have ever read (attempted to read). I’m ashamed to say that I would rather donate my kidney to Larry than finish this highly disturbing look at kidney transplants and the high handed ethics of a certain type of Ugly American.While I did get this through Vine, my reasons for choosing this particular book are not the same as most people here who had read this because they had traveled to China. I have a friend on the 74,000 person waiting list for a kidney and has been on this list for many years; I had hoped to find some answers in this little book of horrors, some humor, maybe some empathy and a side trip for Larry to hook up. Sadly I was hood-winked.Imagine my horror while reading this unethical never ending, torturous book that I had recommended that they stock this in the dialysis department’s library? I hope they will forgive me.
    • 4/5
      I wasn't sure I was going to enjoy this story after the first chapter. As the title suggests, it relates the tale of the author and his cousin pursuing a kidney transplant in China, trying to bypass the long waiting times in the U.S. for organ transplants in order to save his cousin's life. At first blush, I did not find the cousin, Larry, to be a sympathetic character. However, as the story unfolded, my perception of Larry changed entirely, which made the account much more compelling. I'm happy I stuck with the story.Larry's Kidney is neither a travelogue nor a critical examination of the organ transplant system. It's more of a "buddy" story of two people who are unsure of their relationship at the beginning, and how that relationship evolves during the quest. Much of the book is devoted to clever wordplay and witty repartee; the other sections are devoted to sensitive descriptions of the characters and culture they find themselves in. The prose rambles at a few points, but for the most part the writing is clear and enjoyable.Perhaps most surprising and satisfying aspect of the book was the nuanced development of Larry. It is no hagiography, but Larry becomes a much more complex and understandable figure over the course of the story. I was glad to have the opportunity to read this book, and would certainly recommend it.
    • 4/5
      I do not really know how to describe my responses to this book: sometimes intrigued; sometimes irritated; sometimes bored; and finally, I liked that I finished it. It was a bit of a struggle to finish it though. The author's writing style made it hard for me to decide whether I should take his description of his and his cousin's trip to China for a kidney transplant seriously, or should I believe it was a sarcastic spoof, or should I think it was a badly structured combination of stream of consciousness, travel diary, and apologia for being Western and having a huge sense of entitlement. As you can conclude, this was not a typical book in any sense of the word. The story, presumably true, is of the author and his cousin traveling to China to get a kidney transplant for the cousin. It is illegal for Chinese doctors and hospitals to provide kidney transplants to Westerners so much of the book had to do with the subterfuge needed to accomplish this operation. Equally important to the author was a long, and sometimes dreadfully dull, examination of his relationship with this cousin.To tell more might spoil the book for readers. So I shall stop. My final judgment is that I am glad I finished the book; really glad, not just relieved or satisfied, but happy I read the whole thing.
    • 5/5
      In turns funny, touching and bizarre “Larry’s Kidney” is Daniel Asa Rose’s memoir of his trip to China with his less than reputable cousin. Larry had been on the US waiting list for a kidney and his time was running out. So he decided to guilt his writer cousin (who visited China 25 years previous and is the only member of their extended family Larry doesn’t have an active grudge against) into accompanying him. Not only is Daniel expected to help Larry obtain an organ in a country that had recently passed laws preventing Westerners from getting transplants, but while they are there he might as well help Larry impress his new mail order bride. Daniel makes a plea to the local Jewish expat community and gets a lead on the one doctor (Doctor X) who can still get organs. Daniel shares the news with his new acquaintance Jade and before he knows it he and Larry are in the industrial city of Shi (home to “exceptional hospitals and a plethora of massage parlors”} and Larry is at the top of the list for the first available kidney. Larry and Daniels’ relationship really made this book for me. Larry is the blackest of black sheep but Daniel’s memories of the sweet kid he once was propel him to go the distance with him. He also gives the reader insight into a China the Chinese Tourism Board would probably rather outsiders never see. This memoir was great fun. Highly recommended!
    • 4/5
      This is a hilarious and occasionally poignant story of a romp through China with Dan and Larry, trying to arrange an illegal kidney transplant for Larry, who's dying of kidney disease. Some of their exploits are so outrageous that I had to keep reminding myself that this was indeed a true story. Larry decides to kill 2 birds with one stone, and uses the trip to also meet up with his potential mail-order bride, Mary. The lessons learned, the memories dredged up, and Larry's bounces between pragmatism and irrational behavior kept me smiling through the whole book.
    • 4/5
      This is an irreverent look at leaping over the "boundaries" of what is acceptable and taking a gamble on life. Mr. Rose and his cousin Larry take a huge chance and fly to China without even a real plan (which I found incredible and hugely gutsy). Both men are larger than life in terms of personality but their gambles are charming and life-affirming in a way that would be true even Larry wasn't successful in the end. I particularly enjoyed the vivid way in which Mr. Rose brought China to life as almost another character in the narrative. His choice to use dialect (which he talks about in his Author's Note) is big part of that life. Mr. Rose pokes fun equally at himself and his cousin and all the people with whom they make this journey but in doing so, he comes to a more accepting and kind look at the world and all the myriad people who are just trying to make their way through. Very enjoyable.
    • 3/5
      Dan, the author, receives a call from his estranged cousin Larry while Dan and his family are in chairlifts somewhere above the mountains in Colorado. Larry needs a new kidney and can't wait for one in the USA, so he decides to go to china for it. He wants Dan to go with him. It is not only a long trip, but it is also illegal in china to supply Americans with an organ. They go anyway and for two months have an interesting adventure in this strange, but beautiful country.While I enjoyed the book, it almost read like a novel, I would have enjoyed it more had it been a little shorter. The days described started sounding similar after a while and the book started to drag a bit, though it all comes out fine in the end.
