Summary:
Set in 8th-century China during the Tang Dynasty, ruled by the bitter and aging Female Emperor. THE
WALKING
BOY
is a dual story: a female scribe tells the story of the Empress and also the story of Baoshi, a hermaphrodite child, sent on a quest to find his master's former lover. The story employs the narrative conventions of the classical Chinese novel through the prism of a hauntingly modern story of love and longing, power and greed, and the individual's search for meaning.
Genre:
Historical fiction.
Canadian fiction.
