Exploring themes of migration and identity, Brian Castro's writing stands out for its innovative and challenging nature. As an Australian author with roots in Hong Kong, he navigates the fringes of mainstream literature while engaging in deep intertextual dialogues with renowned modernist figures such as Proust, Kafka, and Woolf. His intellectual and ironic style draws parallels with Patrick White, marking him as a significant voice in contemporary literature that resonates with both Australian and European modernist traditions.
