Beschreibung

Discover love and desire from around the globe

A marriage splinters during a game of mah jong
A depressed fianc e is lifted by a mid-air encounter with a Hollywood legend
A mountain keeper watches over a lonely temple but is perturbed when finally a visitor dares to arrive.

The lovers you'll encounter in Lovers in the Age of Indifference may come from across the world but they all share a tough romantic spirit. Written in a warm witty prose writer and filmmaker Xiaolu Guo's engagingly maverick collection of stories zooms in on moments in the lives of lost souls and lovers in a tender and surreal fashion. Enchantingly moving between West and East Guo's personal provocative and charming fables capture the sense of alienation thrown up by life in the modern world. Follow her characters in their search for human contact - and love - in rapidly-changing landscapes all around the globe

'Xiaolu Guo is an instinctive witness; her atmospheric unusually physical narratives are alive' Irish Times
