Bridge of Dreams

This is a British fugitive escaping his own demons finds unfinished business in UNTAC-era Cambodia. An anarchist group struggles against the odds and an enemy they can barely remember. A Japanese doctor travels to an isolated rural clinic to tackle his country's mental health crisis-and almost loses himself. A shaman's grandson from northern Luzon makes the long journey to Manila-and oversees the extinction of his own culture. The fourteen stories that make up A Bridge of Dreams have disparate settings yet voices, textures of realism and mythology, drawn from a common source, bridge them into a collective. The characters are situated on the cusp of cultures, caught between the wrong place and the wrong time, moving towards or away from what defines them through a context inherently Asian.
