Strange Beasts of Chinaby Yan Ge, translated from the Chinese by Jeremy Tiang | Fiction | 320 pages | ISBN 9781911284444 | UK£9.99
What the publisher says: “In the city of Yong’an, an 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.”
What
The Skinny says: “The narrator’s stories begin as serialized accounts of magical realist encounters, an academically motivated exploration of the intersection between anthropology and cryptozoology. Yet the further we delve into this world, the more the narrator discovers the eerie ways in which these beasts’ lives are entangled with her own past.”
