Ugliest House in the World（ISBN=） 英文原版

　　”The eight stories in this first collection from British-born
Oregonian Davies promise to keep you on your toes. They start
benignly, often comically, but inevitably there comes a moment
when, with the briefest of phrases, Davies startles the reader with
a sudden turn down some melancholy and treacherous path.”
(Publishers Weekly )”Allows us access not just to exotic latitudes,
but to a realm of the imagination.” (The Chicago Tribune )

　　Davies’s worldly stories, reflecting his Welsh and Chinese
heritage, delight in odd–and memorable–juxtapositions and
counterpoints. Elegant and original, they travel “with an offhand
grace” (Elle) from Coventry to Kuala Lumpur, from the past to the
present, and from hilarity to tragedy. With its humanism and
pointed wit, this collection “signals the debut of a major talent”
(Chang-rae Lee).
