A Beast Slinks Towards Beijing (2026)
Alice Evelyn Yang
"Singular, incantatory, and heartfelt. In a prismatic tale that blends myth and history through continents, generations, and time, Alice Evelyn Yang's A Beast Slinks Towards Beijing tracks three generations of a family circling the enduring question of how we live with dignity despite the narratives and structures that threaten to crush us at every turn. Yang's steady, unflinching eye on the devastating waves of colonial violence is beautifully balanced with her heart for individual, human struggle, resulting in a story that lingers far beyond its last pages. A debut to savor and watch."
