Description:
"a deep meditation on fractured origins and the process of remaking" – Eileen Chong
"Brown's postcards
sing crisp Guangzhou mornings and hints of dry Australian sunsets"–
Sam Wagan Watson
A hoarding Chinese
grandmother fills her home with objects, unable to distinguish between the
value of things. Meanwhile, her Asian-Australian grandson travels to China for
the first time, wary of the revelations that the trip might offer, as he tries
to make sense of his own Chinese and Anglo-Australian background. In Guangzhou,
Kaiping, Shanghai, and Beijing, amidst the incessant construction and
consumption of twenty-first-century China, a shadowy heritage reveals and
withholds itself, while the suburbs he knows from back home are threaded into the
cities he visits, forming an intricately braided Chinese-Australian
inheritance.
