This essay explores the way in which foreign residents forced to lead a diasporic life in a new nation negotiate the existential question of assimilation. There are three groups of a diasproic life represented in the novel: adoptees, war victims, and immigrants. Is it inevitably necessary for a diasporic person to give way to assimilation once he or she is transplanted into a new nation-state? In A Gesture Life, the narraror Franklin Hata is not able to settle in what he thought would be a comfortable place where everybody would regard him as a model citizen. This is a result of his status both as an adoptee and adopter. He is forced to live a diasporic life. Driven by a sense of guilt, he adopts a Korean girl, Sunny, who brings back the repressed memories of the Korean comfort woman, K, whom he loved during the War. Believing that his efforts to assimilate into his newly adopted nation ould help him fit in, Hata lives a life of gesture that has been consciously or unconsciously created by his own fear that he might not be accepted or fit in. All his efforts to become a transnational immigrant end unsuccessfully when he realizes what has gone wrong in his life and tries to come to terms with this realization by transforming his attitude toward life. Still Chang-rae Lee leaves a sense of a possible redemption in the final pages.
