One minute she was breakfasting with him and packing for an upcoming trip, the next, she finds him motionless in their bathtub. Like something out of a dream, next to the tub Jia Jia discovers a pencil sketch of a strange watery figure, an image that swims into Jia Jia's mind and won't leave. The mysterious drawing launches Jia Jia on an odyssey across contemporary Beijing, from its high-rise apartments to its hidden bars, as her path crosses some of the people who call the city home, including a jaded bartender who may be able to offer her the kind of love she had long thought impossible. Jia Jia's journey takes her to the high plains of Tibet, and even to a shadowy, watery otherworld, a place she both yearns and fears to go. An atmospheric and cinematic evocation of middle-class urban China, An Yu's Braised Pork explores the intimate strangeness of grief, the indelible mysteries of unseen worlds, and the self-discovery of a newly empowered young woman"-- $c Provided by publisher. 941 $a 5 952 $l USUX851 $d 20201103014356.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20200711010612.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20200616012740.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20200602014304.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20200602012220.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6181087674A711EA8EBE956E97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
