Description

Review "Witty and original...one of China's most successful literary exports" (Guardian)"Funny and melancholy, scintillatingly observed" (The Times)"Original, humorous and wise" (Amy Tan)"Xiaolu Guo is an instinctive witness; her atmospheric, unusually physical narratives are alive" (Irish Times) From the Inside Flap Xiaolu Guo, best known for her enchanting yet sharp take on culture-shock, A Concise Chinese-English Dictionary for Lovers, presents a new work of fiction exploring the themes of love and exile that she has so brilliantly made her own.The Lovers in the Age of Indifference are tough romantics from every corner of the planet: a marriage splinters during a game of mahjong; a chair-lift leads to a mid-air encounter with Robert Redford high over the Rockies; a lonely mountain keeper watches over a seldom-visited temple but is perturbed when, finally, a visitor dares to arrive.In this engagingly maverick collection, writer and filmmaker Guo zooms into tender and surreal moments in the lives of lost souls and lovers, adrift between West and East. Her personal, provocative and charming fables capture the sense of alienation thrown up by life in the modern world, and we join her characters in their search for human contact - and love - in rapidly-changing landscapes all around the globe.
