With admirable determination our hero uses his street cunning and entrepreneurial instincts to work his way out of grinding destitution. Hamid is particularly good on the stomach-churning depths of squalor – placing the reader right inside the dank confines of the poor – and the stagnant ironies of developing nations, where teachers dream of being electricity meter readers. ![]() Given the advantage over his siblings of some basic education, he migrates to a slum in a sprawling megacity. ![]() The self, or the directly addressed "you" at the centre of the story, is a peasant male in some unspecified corner of Asia – although it doesn't take a lot of guesswork to identify Hamid's native Pakistan as the inspiration – whom we follow from impoverished birth through to a more comfortable death. It's a clever idea that soon falls victim to Hamid's cleverness, as he can't seem to make up his mind if he wants to parody the genre or use it as a springboard for quasi-philosophical digressions on the "self". Instead he seeks to create a more collusive enticement in How to Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia, made explicit with the conceit of a self-help guide. But Hamid is too deft a craftsman simply to bully the reader. ![]()

When Lillian is bitten by a poisonous snake while napping under the branches of a beech tree, the magical cats of the forest reveal themselves and save her by turning her into a kitten.

On a quiet day, when the wind was still, the creek could be heard all the way up to where the old beech stood. ![]() ![]() By Charles De Lint, illustrated by Charles Vess ![]() 6/11/2023 0 Comments The three body problem trilogy![]() ![]() In 2006 it received the Yinhe Award for Chinese science fiction, and in 2012 was described as one of the genre's most successful novels of the previous two decades.
