A meditation on the meaning of life in an increasingly global
world, from acclaimed Chinese-Canadian author Xue Yiwei. Set in
modern-day Montreal, Celia, Misoka, I is the story of a middle-aged
Chinese man who has been living in the city for fifteen years.
After the death of his wife, he begins to reflect on his past and
how he has ended up alone in Canada, a solitary member of the
Chinese diaspora. It is in this period of angst and uncertainty,
during the most unusual of winters, that he meets two women by
Beaver Lake, on Montreal's Mount Royal. They, too, have their own
stories: stories of their own personal plights, which connect
present to past, and West to East. The distinct paths taken by
these three characters -- Celia, Misoka, and "I" -- span continents
and decades, but, whether by chance or design, converge in
Montreal, like mysterious figures in an ancient Chinese Zen
painting. After coming together, the three begin to examine who
they are, where they might belong, and how to navigate otherness
and identity in a globalized world. A RARE MACHINES BOOK
