CONTEMPORARY BEIJING FROM A YOUNG LITERARY STAR

‘So elegant and poised, so tuned to the great mysteries of love and reduction. Braised Pork is definitely a significant debut’ — John Freeman

One morning in autumn, just after breakfast time, Jia Jia finds her spouse dead in the bathtub of their Beijing apartment.

Next to him is certainly a piece of folded paper, a sketch of a unusual creature from his wish. He has remaining her no other sign.

Young, by itself, and numerous unanswered questions, Jia Jia pieces out on a journey. Beginning at her neighbourhood bar, fuelled by anger, bewilderment, interest and love, she moves from nocturnal Beijing towards the high plains of Tibet, deep into her past in order to reach her future.

Cinematic, often dreamlike, Braised Pork is an exploration of myth-making, loss, and a global beyond words, which ultimately sees a woman find a new and deeper sense of herself.
