In the city of Yong'an, a fiction writer and 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.

Guided — and often misguided — by her elusive university professor and his scrappy sidekick-student Zhong Liang, our narrator finds herself on a mission to track down each species. And as she blunders from one implausible situation to the next, she comes one step closer to revealing her own multifaceted beastliness…

Part detective story, part metaphysical enquiry, Strange Beasts of China addresses existential questions of identity, being, love and morality with whimsy and grace.

    Zhong Liang, with your grinning boyish face, your dry humour, my incorrigible Zhong Liang. If you come back, if you sit before me, quietly take my hand, and tell me everything, I’ll love you. I will love you. Never mind if I can’t love you, or I already do.

    ‘Will you buy me lots of brown sugar?’

    ‘Yes.’

    ‘Then I love you.’
