Hua Yu

"A man wandered from northern China to a town south of his hometown. He was looking for a town that didn't exist. The story includes an era of melee and banditry and control by warlords. Includes black humor expressing the fragility of life. Includes magic. Time and space are not perceived or expressed linearly." --

The story of a prodigal son set against the backdrop of China in the tumultuous era of the 40s and beyond.
