520    "The hero of The Invisibility Cloak lives in contemporary 
       Beijing--where everyone is doing their best to hustle up 
       the ladder of success while shouldering an ever-growing 
       burden of consumer goods--and he's a loser. Well into his 
       forties, he's divorced (and still doting on his ex), 
       childless, and living with his sister (her husband wants 
       him out) in an apartment at the edge of town with a crack 
       in the wall the wind from the north blows through while he
       gets by, just, by making customized old-fashioned 
       amplifiers for the occasional rich audio-obsessive. He has
       contempt for his clients and contempt for himself. The 
       only things he really likes are Beethoven and vintage 
       speakers. Then an old friend tips him off about a special 
       job--a little risky but just don't ask too many questions-
       -and can it really be that this hopeless loser wins? This 
       provocative and seriously funny exercise in the social 
       fantastic by the brilliantly original Ge Fei, one of 
       China's finest living writers, is among the most original 
       works of fiction to come out of China in recent years. It 
       is sure to appeal to readers of Haruki Murakami and other 
       fabulists of contemporary irreality"--|cProvided by
