Join us as we celebrate Xu Xi’s latest short story collection, Horizon Hong Kong at the Theatre Centre on Queen West.
One of Hong Kong’s leading English writers, Xu Xi has published 16 books and edited 4 anthologies of English Hong Kong literature. The event will be moderated by Canadian novelist, translator, and editor, Kim Echlin, author of Tell others.

“One of Hong Kong’s leading English writers, Xu Xi investigates and invigorates the transnational, transcultural, and translingual dimensions of her beloved city in these 22 stories covering the 1960s to the present day.
Written against the backdrop of tremendous political change—from Hong Kong’s transformation from a British colony to a Chinese Special Administrative Region in 1997 to the political turmoil of the 2014 Occupy Hong Kong protests and the 2019 Polytechnic University occupation—Xu’s stories capture the intimate realities of lives led and choices made under the shadow of a city that looms large in our imagination.”
