Description
Winner of the 2024 Writers' Trust Atwood Gibson Fiction Prize, Batshit Seven is a novel by Governor General's Award-nominated author Sheung-King. Set in Hong Kong, the story follows Glen Wu, a millennial struggling to make sense of modern life and his place within it.
As he navigates the city's protests and personal relationships, Glen finds himself drawn into an unsettling venture that ultimately culminates in an act of violence. With its inventive storytelling and QR codes woven throughout, Batshit Seven is a thought-provoking exploration of the anxieties and apathies of the millennial experience.
This novel is an ode to a beloved city, an indictment of the cycles of imperialism, and a reminder of the beauty that can be found in the midst of commodified living. With its unique blend of themes and styles, Batshit Seven is a compelling read for anyone interested in contemporary fiction.
