Synopsis
Chai is a middle-aged, happily-married Chinese immigrant who escaped from China and became a successful New York banker. However, ghosts from his past continue to haunt him and when an old love resurfaces, Chai is thrown into a state of confusion and reminiscence. Throughout his struggles, the spirit of Calvin Coolidge, symbol of all that is good about American capitalism to Chai, guides him.

Industry Reviews
"...an absolute delight, a small but rich book in which every note is struck exactly right, a book one reads mesmerized, so hypnotic is the wry, self-effacing yet insistent voice in which it is narrated. It is the best first novel to come my way since William Boyd's 'A Good Man in Africa'; indeed it is so good that it shows no sign of being a first novel....at once a lovely entertainment and a small work of art....In more than three decades of professional book reviewing I have found perhaps a half dozen books that came out of the unknown and gave me surprise and pleasure beyond measure. 'Seeing Calvin Coolidge in a Dream' most emphatically is one of these."
Washington Post Book World - Jonathan Yardley (03/10/1996)
"...Derbyshire's great accomplishment is his perceptive and self-deprecating hero."
