KEE Encounters: That Man in Our Lives with Xu Xi

Collaborating with Hong Kong International Literary Festival, KEE club presents our Encounter series, we are honoured to have novelist Xu Xi to inspire us with her new book.

In her newly released novel, That Man in Our Lives, Xu Xi expands the fictional universe of her earlier novels, locating New York as the perch to view the shifting balance of power between China and the U.S. Originally inspired by John Adams’ opera Nixon in China, her large cast of characters traverse the globe in search of protagonist Gordon Ashberry, a wealthy Sinologist, also known as Hui Guo or 灰果, after he goes missing during the flight delay in Tokyo.
