Marilyn Chin

Fierce, enchanting, exuberant . . . Chin's imaginative dexterity is evident from the outset of this enthralling novel

A nicely mischievous cacophony . . . by turns brutal, arch, sensuous and bawdy

Wildly original, imaginative and fiercely beautiful

Nothing if not inventive . . . a riotous debut. Chin has a keen eye for the duality immigrants can experience, portraying it with humour as well as pathos

Revenge of the Mooncake Vixen tells a compelling tale while examining the art of storytelling itself . . . Some sections of the book read like romances or folk-tales, while others crackle with snappy dialogue and youthful exuberance

A delightful and rather intoxicating book. Chin has a unique voice which enchants, surprises and beguiles

Such double happiness! Marilyn Chin in new, top form. What fun!

A Manifesto in 41 Tales

'Oh Lord! Here come the Double Happiness Twins . . .' 
 
The Double Happiness Twins are Moonie and Mei Ling. The Double Happiness is the Chinese restaurant in California where they help out their meat-cleaver-wielding grandmother - when they're not causing uproar and mayhem. And Revenge of the Mooncake Vixen is the story of the sisters, their Grandma, a lot of animals and the topsy-turvy, surreal experience of being a pair of strangers in a very, very strange land indeed.
