"To be ushered into Tse's hallucinatory city is a revelation, an unnerving gift." ~ CHINA MIEVILLE
Dorothy Tse is a writer from Hong Kong. Her debut novel,Owlish, was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Gregg Barrios Book in Translation Prize, and her short story collection,Snow and Shadow, was longlisted for the Best Translated Book Award.
A cofounder of the literary journalFleurs des Lettres, she has received the Hong Kong Book Prize, the Hong Kong Biennial Award for Chinese Literature, and Taiwan's Unitas New Fiction Writers' Award.
Dorothy joins us forCity Like Water,an extraordinary novel that has been met with much acclaim. As one journalist wrote: "dazzling imagery carries the narrative - and the city itself - far out to sea, as Kafka and Borges, old masters of the surreal and avuncular figures, look on approvingly from the shore."
The city you grew up in is gone, as if sunk to the bottom of the ocean. So much has vanished with it - counterfeit watches, streets echoing with the sound of stilettos, and even some of your classmates and teachers. Then the disappearances come closer to home.
