buyPRESS REVIEW
"... this introspective, non-linear narrative, disjointed and infused with palpable tension, is rooted in China's immediate present, but also in the universal present of social networks, the Internet and a mortifying consumerist and ultra-liberal culture..."
... It is a text that struck me with its originality and message, and which stands out clearly from what we have read before in Chinese literature.
