'Caught between the tense strictures of a dystopian future and ever-thrilling flights into an imagined past, Pan Huiting's 'Red Dust, White Snow' is a dizzying, inventive, page-turning debut' -Daryl Qilin Yam, author of 'Lovelier, Lonelier', nominated for the 2023 Dublin Literary Prize; ''Red Dust, White Snow' is a work of sprawling imagination and luminous writing. Full of heady oneiric visions, it takes you into a world that's both recognisable and familiar, and also uncannily strange. A wild ride, it marks Pan Huiting out as a real talent to watch' -Eli Lee, author of 'A Strange and Brilliant Light', winner of the Writers' Guild of Great Britain's Best First Novel Award; 'An eerie, engaging, extended parable about the launch of a dreamworld, and the longings it mirrors of the all-too-real world we live in now' -Gwyneth Jones, author of 'Bold as Love', winner of the Arthur C. Clarke Award; 'Tantalizing, poignant and compelling, Pan Huiting's 'Red Dust, White Snow' is a luminous spell of a novel about the escapes of technology that delivered me firmly and thrillingly back into myself' -Katie Williams, author of 'Tell the Machine Goodnight'; Dreamlike, playful, lush. Pan Huiting manages to depict the dangers and pleasures of a life lived online without finger-wagging or condescending' -Lynda Clark, author of 'Beyond Kidding' and 'Dreaming in Quantum'; 'Invoking the social alienation of Haruki Murakami's The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, Huiting creates a world whose characters search desperately for self in an ever-more-virtual landscape. Red Dust, White Snow holds a mirror up to the imaginary lives that captivate and enslave us - then forces us to look' -Carole Stivers, author of 'The Mother Code';
