He's returned to Hong Kong, the city he grew up in, and he's teaching ESL, just to placate his parents. But he shows up hungover to class, barely stays awake, and prefers to spend his time smoking up until dawn he watches the city he loves fall-the protests, the brutal arrests-life continues around him. So he drinks more, picks more fights with his drug dealer friend, thinks loftier thoughts about the post-colonial condition and Frantz Fanon. The very little he does care about- his sister, who deals with Hong Kong's demise by getting engaged to a rich immigration consultant; his on-and-off-again relationship with a woman who steals things from him; and memories of someone he once met in Canada....When the government tightens its grip, language starts to lose all meaning for Glue, and he finds himself pulled into an unsettling venture, ultimately culminating in an act of and utterly irresistible, with QR codes woven throughout, Sheung-King's ingenious novel encapsulates the anxieties and apathies of the millennial experience.
