Description

THE MANDARIN pretends to be an ordinary novel. But it is set in places that no longer exist. The plot develops recursively rather than progressively. It is written almost entirely in dialogue: consciousness tends to be communal rather than personal. At any moment, the characters might stop talking and start doing something. They won't, but the option is always available.
