The Macanese Pro-Wrestler's Cookbook
Macau, a redolent, overcrowded hive of faded Portuguese culture, glossy American casinos, triad underworld, and overarching Chinese governance. It's what hapless, lovelorn Zeke Oliveira calls Home. But when his best friend is murdered, Zeke confronts the systems of money, race, and class that are tearing his home apart.
Speed of Lightness
A window on modern Japan, this off-kilter, anti-sentimental literary thriller is an eye-opening journey into the hinterlands of a postmodern nation.
