In the city of Yong'an, a fiction writer and amateur cryptozoologist is
commissioned to uncover the stories of its fabled beasts. These creatures, with
their greenish stomachs or gills or strange birthmarks, live alongside humans in
near-inconspicuousness, some with ancient forbears, others engineered as
artificial breeds. Guided – and often misguided – by her elusive university
professor and his scrappy sidekick-student Zhong Liang, our narrator finds
herself on a mission to track down each species. And as she blunders from one
implausible situation to the next, she comes one step closer to revealing her
own multifaceted beastliness… Part detective story, part metaphysical enquiry,
Strange Beasts of China addresses existential questions of identity, being, love
and morality with whimsy and grace.
