Synopsis
Dan is an unemployed factory worker who learns to sneak into state-sponsored banquets so he can eat exquisite gourmet meals free of charge.
But the secrets Dan overhears at these events eventually lead him down a twisted, intrigue-laden path. When he becomes privy to a scandal that runs from the depths of society up to its highest rungs, Dan must find a way to lay bare the corruption - without revealing the dangerous truth about himself. A thrilling rollercoaster ride through the new world of boomtown China.

Review
'A memorable portrait of the decadence ushered in by China's new wealth.' -- Guardian
'Geling Yan's sly satire - her first in English - is a toothsome indictment of modern China.' -- Independent
'Slippery and sensuous, the implications of Yan's fable linger disquietingly weeks after the last page is turned.' -- Observer
'The adventures of Beijing gatecrasher Dan Dong, freeloading on China's PR gravy train, drive this sparky satire of new money and old sins.' -- Independent
'Yan depicts a China of contrasts, her lingering descriptions of the sumptuous food offset by the grubby, exploitative corporations that provide it.' -- Sunday Times
Book Description
