About This Item
Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1997. Signed by the author on the title page. First edition / First printing. Black cloth spine, black paper-covered boards. Fine in about fine dust jacket. The author's acclaimed first book. Winner of the John Llewellyn Rhys Award, the PEN/MacMillan Prize, and The H.L. Davis Award for Short Fiction.
Synopsis
Davies's worldly stories, reflecting his Welsh and Chinese heritage, delight in odd--and memorable--juxtapositions and counterpoints. Elegant and original, they travel "with an offhand grace" (Elle) from Coventry to Kuala Lumpur, from the past to the present, and from hilarity to tragedy. With its humanism and pointed wit, this collection "signals the debut of a major talent" (Chang-rae Lee).
