You're invited to join us for a book-signing with author Chan Koon-chung for The Fat Years. The event takes place at the Bookazine store in the Prince's Building in Hong Kong's Central District from 6:30 to 8 p.m. on November 1.

This is a notorious novel that no one in China dares to publish. A thriller set in China after the Beijing Massacre, when a month has gone missing from historical records, the book has boomed from being a small underground text to a major sensation in the Chinese-speaking world, passed under tables among perhaps millions of readers. The author conjures a fascinating tale of China just over the horizon, in which the most privileged and educated people struggle to balance the benefits and perils of life under a high-functioning authoritarianism. Ultimately, they ask a fundamental question: Would you choose a good hell or a counterfeit paradise?

Space is limited so please RSVP to: enquiries@bookazine.com.hk
