“Xi Xi’s writing is both child-like and highly challenging. In My City, you are shown Hong Kong as if refracted through a prism. The city is there, but you never see it head on. The perspective is always bent, sidelong, providing an entirely unique view of a place that is already difficult to pin down.”
