...many held in today's China to launch everything from[an error occurred while processing this directive] literacy campaigns to property developments. After a splendid meal - with an envelope of cash "for your troubles" - Dan has a revelation: all he needs to continue this charmed life is a fake business card and a nonexistent website. Thus begins Dan's career in journalism - and Geling Yan's shark-fin-sharp satire on cuisine and corruption in contemporary China.
