Description
“The poet, an old man who owns a shabby Chinese restaurant, refuses to sell his property to the almighty masters of development. Trapped in the tyranny of his past, he meets two young souls who will remind him that protecting one’s own empire of memory is a far greater task.
A philosophical exploration of longing and impermanence, the book sieves the many forms of forgetting people experience within the labyrinths of urban life, the fleetingness of love and the cruelty of fragmented memory.”
