Description
Celia, Misoka, I is a meditation on the meaning of life in an increasingly global world by acclaimed Chinese-Canadian author Xue Yiwei. Set against the backdrop of modern-day Montreal, this novel explores the story of a middle-aged man who has been living in Canada for fifteen years.
After the death of his wife, he begins to reflect on his past and how he has ended up alone in Canada, a solitary member of the Chinese diaspora. It is during this period of angst and uncertainty that he meets two women by Beaver Lake, on Montreal's Mount Royal, whose stories connect present to past, and West to East.
The distinct paths taken by these three characters - Celia, Misoka, and "I" - span continents and decades, but converge in Montreal like mysterious figures in an ancient Chinese Zen painting. As they come together, they begin to examine who they are, where they might belong, and how to navigate otherness and identity in a globalized world.
