Reading Chinese author An Yu’s Braised Pork is like walking into a dream in that it is composed of fragments that are as mesmerising as they are fleeting.
The book opens with a startling death and the discovery of a mysterious drawing of a creature that is part fish, part man, discovered beside the man who died in the bathtub.
