Winner of the 2004 South Australian Festival Award for Innovation in Writing.Shortlisted for the 2003 NSW Premier's Award for Literature."Innovative, compelling and often profoundly discomforting, Ouyang Yu's book is written from the perspective of a Chinese immigrant to Australia...it raises troubling questions about the possibility of a fully integrated multicultural society." (SA Festival Awards)"...amusing, cynical and bawdy." (Canberra Times)"It confronts the reader with unsavoury home truths and it is poignant, painful, provocative, funny and sad." (Overland)
