Title: shame
Review: This book was never good but at least at the beginning one might have the impression that the story could evolve... well I was waiting and waiting but things went straight downhill. What is this book about? The protagonist is not interesting in any sense. At the part where he goes back to Shanghai and looks for his parents (disappeared 18 years ago and he thinks they are kept in a house still held captive) while there is actual fighting around him and thinks he found a childhood friend I thought this guy is simply insane, really a mental case and since this is a memoir of his none of which I have been reading is true. I was disappointed to find out that the writer did indeed believe that the events depicted could have taken place. The whole book is such a disappointment!
