520    "The English-language debut of an exciting new award-
       winning voice from Taiwan--a stunning novel that is at 
       once fantasy, reality, and dystopian environmental saga, 
       in which the lives of two people from very different 
       worlds intertwine under the shadow of a man-made 
       catastrophe. On the mythical island of Wayo-Wayo, young 
       Atile'i has just seen his 180th full moon and, following 
       the tradition of his people, is sent out alone into the 
       vast Pacific as a sacrifice to the Sea God. Just when it 
       seems that all hope is lost, he happens upon a new home--a
       vast island made of trash. Meanwhile, in Taiwan, Alice, a 
       professor of literature, is preparing to commit suicide 
       following the disappearance of her husband and son. But 
       her plans are put on hold when the trash island collides 
       with the Taiwan coast where Alice lives. Her home is 
       destroyed, but meeting Atile'i gives her life new meaning 
       as they set out to solve the mystery of her lost family. 
       Drawing in the narratives of others impacted by the 
       disaster--Alice's friends and neighbors, environmentalists
       from abroad, the mysterious man with compound eyes--the 
       novel tells an enthralling, surreal story of the known--
