*A STYLIST BEST BOOK OF 2020*One autumn morning after breakfast,
when she finds her husband dead in the bathtub, Jia Jia's life
changes in ways she could never have imagined... 'So elegant and
poised, so tuned to the great mysteries of love and loss. Braised
Pork is a major debut' -- John FreemanOne morning in autumn, just
after breakfast, Jia Jia finds her husband dead in the bathtub of
their Beijing apartment.Next to him is a piece of folded paper, a
sketch of a strange creature from his dream. He has left her no
other sign. Young, alone, and with many unanswered questions, Jia
Jia sets out to discover what this this mysterious clue might
mean.From the high-rises to the hidden bars of contemporary
Beijing, she crosses paths with people who call the city home,
including someone who may be able to offer her the love she had
long thought impossible. Her journey takes her to the high plains
of Tibet, and even to a shadowy, watery otherworld, a place she
both yearns for and fears. Cinematic, dreamlike and very beautiful,
Braised Pork is an exploration of myth-making, loss, and a world
beyond words, and of a young woman's search deep into her past in
order to arrive at her future.'Bold yet understated, Braised Pork
is the debut of a supremely confident and gifted writer' Katie
Kitamura'What a singular, slippery, transfixing novel this is. An
Yu achieves a hypnotizing emotional clarity as she takes her
narrator ever further from a stifling life in Beijing into a watery
realm unlike any I've read before.' Idra Novey'This exquisite novel
is many things: a detective story in which the real object of
pursuit is how one makes meaning of a sometimes ineffable
existence, a meditation on the talismanic power of art and the
indefatigability of the human spirit, and a many-faceted, perfectly
cut gem of psychological portraiture set in well-wrought sentences
burnished to a gorgeous luster. The emotions in this book keep pace
with you, shadowing you with a quiet intensity, until in the last
stretch they overtake you completely.' Matthew Thomas
