Descriere magazin:
From Governor General\'s Award-nominated author
Sheung-King comes a novel about a millennial living through the Hong Kong protests, as he struggles to make sense of modern life and the parts of himself that just won\'t gel. nGlen Wu (aka Glue) couldn\'t care less about his job. He\'s returned to Hong Kong, the city he grew up in, and he\'s teaching ESL, just to placate his parents. But he shows up hungover to class, barely stays awake, and prefers to spend his time smoking up until dawn breaks. n n As he watches the city he loves fall--the protests, the brutal arrests--life continues around him. So he drinks more, picks more fights with his drug dealer friend, thinks loftier thoughts about the post-colonial condition and Frantz Fanon. The very little he does care about: his sister, who deals with Hong Kong\'s demise by getting engaged to a rich immigration consultant; his on-and-off-again relationship with a woman who steals things from him; and memories of someone he once met in Canada.... n n When the government tightens its grip, language starts to lose all meaning for Glue, and he finds himself pulled into an unsettling venture, ultimately culminating in an act of violence. n n Inventive and utterly irresistible, with QR codes woven throughout,
Sheung-King\'s ingenious novel encapsulates the anxieties and apathies of the millennial experience.
Batshit Seven is an ode to a beloved city, an indictment of the cycles of imperialism, and a reminder of the beautiful things left under the hype of commodified living.n
