The 2025 Miles Franklin Literary Award winner Ghost Cities is inspired by the vacant, uninhabited megacities of China.
Following multiple narratives, including one of a young man fired from his translation job for relying entirely on Google Translate, Siang Lu’s recent novel is an imaginative and delightful work, shortlisted for some of the most prestigious literary prizes in the country.
Join Siang as he unpacks how his novel draws on Chinese history to explore the absurdity of modern life. In conversation with comedian Jennifer Wong.
