In the summer of 1969, in the wake of Malaysia's deadliest race riots, a woman named Du Li An secures her place in society by marrying a gangster. In a parallel narrative, a critic known only as The Third Person explores the work of a writer also named Du Li An. And a third storyline is in the second person; "you" are reading a novel titled The Age of Goodbyes. Floundering in the wake of "your" mother's death, "you" are trying to unpack the secrets surrounding "your" lineage.The Age of Goodbyes—which begins on page 513, a reference to the riots of May 13, 1969—is the acclaimed debut by Li Zi Shu. The winner of multiple awards and a Taiwanese bestseller, this dazzling novel is a profound exploration of what happens to personal memory when official accounts of history distort and render it taboo.

Die Geschichte von Laoshun, einem Falkner in einem kleinen Dorf am Rande der Wüste im Nordwesten Chinas. Ein Leben in einer abgelegenen Welt, geprägt von existentiellen Nöten und den täglichen Sorgen um die Zukunft. Eine Geschichte von Hoffnung und Verzweiflung, Leid und Erlösung und von immer wiederkehrenden Prüfungen, die es zu meistern gilt und hinter allem die Frage nach dem Sinn oder Unsinn des Lebens in einer Landschaft, die zugleich lebensfeindlich und grausam, aber auch erfüllend und faszinierend ist.
