Thea Lim recommends
Batshit Seven (2024)
Sheung-King
"Glue has an intricate understanding of what ails him and his homeland of Hong Kong, but he's paralyzed by his status as a transnational, neither here nor there. This grimly hilarious book asks if imperialism does this to us by accident, or on purpose--but also, it doesn't matter. An astonishingly unflinching account of the spiritual wasteland where 'global' 'citizens' live; how it feels to have your personhood hollowed out by market forces, empire, and migration."
The Theory of Crows (2022)
David A Robertson
"A brilliantly empathetic story that is both gentle and fierce."
