Description
From the Japanese-born Malcolm Bradbury seminar graduate, a Booker Prize laureate for “The Remains of the Day”—an exquisite novel where 1930s “black detective” traditions and late 20th/early 21st-century “cultural studies prose” are paradoxically combined.
The best-known detective, the intellectual Christopher Banks, has dreamed since childhood of uncovering the mystery of his parents’ disappearance—finally, he gets the chance, albeit at a very uneasy time, by going along the London–Shanghai route. But Christopher’s investigation and his exotic journey gradually turn into a passage from the Present to the Past, from a world of illusions into a world of harsh reality.
