PRAISE FOR BATSHIT SEVEN:
*SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2024 WRITERS' TRUST ATWOOD GIBSON PRIZE*
“[Sheung-King] presents [Glue’s] story with the restrained force of an ethnographic study. The result is . . . incredibly powerful, rendering Batshit Seven a highly unusual, highly effective examination of both contemporary society and the quest for identity.”
—Toronto Star
"Glen Wu has returned to Hong Kong to teach English, even as China tightens its grip on the city in a new form of colonialism. Governor General’s Literary Award–nominated Sheung-King weaves a colourful, inventive tale about a disaffected millennial struggling to understand the world and his own identity during a time of change."
