When a tsunami sends a massive island made of trash crashing into the coast
of Taiwan, two very different people—an outcast from a mythical country and
a woman on the verge of suicide—are united in ways they never could have
imagined. Intertwined with the story of their burgeoning friendship are the
lives of others affected by the tsunami, from environmentalists to Taiwan's
indigenous peoples—and, of course, the mysterious man with the compound
eyes. A work of lyrical beauty that combines fantasy, reality, and
dystopian environmental saga, here is the English-language debut of a new
and exciting award-winning voice from Taiwan.
