Chaos and All That
This brilliant little novel, set against the backdrop of post-Mao China, juxtaposes recollections of childhood, pet ownership, and marriage with discussions of art, sex, and murder, weaving together an absurdist tapestry that is the inner life of the novel’s felicitously named protagonist, Huang Haha. Subversive, iconoclastic, and wholly irreverent.

Meh, I guess it is good that it is a short book, otherwise I probably wouldn't have persisted. The story of a girl living in London, recalling her life and family growing up in Peking (Beijing).
