À propos de cet audio

A noirish story about a mysterious disappearance and a moving portrait of a Chinese Canadian family navigating insecurities, expectations, and simmering anger in their small BC town.

Casper Han grew up the dutiful son of immigrants who never felt entirely welcome in their remote corner of British Columbia. Now an adult, living in Vancouver with a boyfriend whose privilege he quietly resents, Casper rarely returns to his hometown, the site of a grief his family doesn’t discuss: the loss of his twin brother, Sam.

Over twenty years have passed since Sam went missing, and a pressing crisis has brought Casper and his siblings back. Their father has vanished, only to be found wandering the vast woods beyond the family home, confused and clutching a pair of scissors, seemingly trapped in the memory of that tragic night. In order to move forward, the Han family, accustomed to fleeing their problems, must stay put and finally confront the past—untangling the mystery of what really happened to Sam.

Combining the atmosphere and intrigue of a cracking good suspense novel with the depth of a rich character study, The Tiger and the Cosmonaut tells the story of a family whose members have long made themselves small and quiet and obedient—and what happens when the cycle is finally broken.

Ce que les critiques en disent

“A deftly woven novel about a family mystery, held for decades, that reveals the bottomless sorrow and reserves of strength found in one immigrant family. Eddy Boudel Tan is a savvy and sensitive writer who will, by turn, wow you with the turns in his story and move you to tears.”—Kevin Chong, author of The Double Life of Benson Yu

“Affords readers a rich, multilayered experience of reading. Every page leaves you breathless, eager to learn more about the family and the community at the story’s centre, and before you know it you’re caught in the middle of a heart-wrenching mystery, through which the author deftly, astutely, and compassionately sheds light on family relationships where each member harbours a secret as a matter of survival, regardless of its cost to one, and even to all.”—Shani Mootoo, author of Polar Vortex

“A novel that masterfully combines mystery, family drama, and the sacrifices that immigrant parents make in the hopes of giving their children a better life. At the heart of the story is a thoughtful and universal exploration of identity—not only in how we see one another, but also how we perceive ourselves. I loved this book and the world that Eddy Boudel Tan has created within its pages.”—Brian Francis, author of Fruit
