Hu Fang’s Dear Navigator is a collection of ten short stories that takes us on a journey across time and space. Performance artists, astronauts, an airplane, Zen masters, and hunger artists are some of the companions of this exploration into hidden realities. Hu draws on the experience of everyday life, the past, and the future to create otherworldly stories where reality turns into fiction and science fiction becomes reality.

Garden of Mirrored Flowers
is

a labyrinth of reality
in which one can get lost
or find his/her own way;
a theme park constantly
consuming history;
a contemporary Chinese garden
replete with multiple routes.
