Description
Love in the New Millennium
A darkly comic novel by Can Xue, longlisted for the Man Booker International Prize 2019. In this dreamlike tale, a group of women inhabits a world of constant surveillance, where informants lurk in unexpected places and conspiracies abound.
The novel explores love's many guises - satirical, tragic, transient, lasting, nebulous, and fulfilling - against a kaleidoscopic backdrop of commerce and industry, fraud and exploitation, and sex and romance drawn from the East and the West.
