A Bridge of Dreams: Asian Tales

A British fugitive escaping his own demons find 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 comprising A Bridge of Dreams have disparate settings and voices, yet textures and mythologies, drawn from a common source, link them together. The characters are situated on the cusp of cultures, caught in the wrong place or the wrong time, moving towards or away from what defines them, through a Context inherently Asian.
