Reviews
Longlisted for the 2018 Man Booker International PrizePraise for The Man with the Compound Eyes :'A uniquely harmonious blend of fantasy and blunt realism.... Wu's beautifully evocative language and multilayered ecological and cultural themes offer a richly satisfying reading experience.' -Booklist;'Offering a heady dose of realism, surrealism, and magic realism, with several shots of allegory, award-winning Chinese author Wu offers a work for 'literary fiction' readers, but not in the snobbish sense. It's really for any curious, intelligent reader not tethered to the best sellers lists.' --Library Journal (starred review) 'A universal, yet unique, tale of love and loss...A heady mix of science fiction, fantasy, environmental fable and magical realism, the author had to create a genre entirely new for this singular, captivating book.... [A work of] lyrical, haunting beauty.' --Pittsburgh Post-Gazette'It is science fiction...in the way that the best Margaret Atwood books are science fiction... At the same time, it's [also] in the tradition of Gabriel Garcia Marquez's magic realism... I read it on the train, on my couch, standing on the street outside a beer garden with a couple of liters already in me and in my car while I drove... I couldn't put it down.' --Jason Sheehan, NPR'Beautifully written and beautifully translated... [Wu] guides us to see the entirety of experience as bumping flotsam in an unending ocean of life colliding and making a mess of things or making something new... Lyric, simple, soft, the story crests and recedes and comes back again.' --The Bloomington Sun-Current'A gift...perhaps his greatest achievement that this novel creates a sense of solidarity not only between his human characters, but also between [the] humans and the animals and plants he describes with such fidelity and with such inspiring belief in the reality of their wisdom and power.' --FullStop'Imaginative and moving.'-- Financial Times 'Rich, dense and dripping with life. The book sings in the key of fable, but with the timbre of reality.'--Charles Yu, author of How to Live Safely in a Fictional Universe 'Reminiscent of Haruki Murakami, twisting the dreamlike into the curiously credible.' Times Literary Supplement ; 'We haven't read anything like this novel. Ever. [It is] beautiful, entertaining, frightening, preposterous, true.' Ursula K. Le Guin; 'A haunting and evocative tale, beautifully told...this work will be a classic.' Hugh Howey, author of Wool ;'Astonishing... A wonderful novel which deserves a very wide audience.' -- The Independent (London); '[Wu's] writing occupies the space between hard-edged realism and extravagantly detailed fantasy...Beyond the book's ecological and scientific attributes, you can see a deft novelist's hand at work.'-- The Guardian
