The Impossible City: A Hong Kong Memoir by Karen Cheung

5.0

This book helps me understand thoughts I have about my hometown that I didn’t know I have or couldn’t articulate. Sometimes I felt as though I could have written some of this, albeit in different words with different stories. My own blogs over the years agonising my identity and sense of belonging echo parts of this book. I feel heard and understood.

Not sure how relevant this is for non-HKers, in the sense the author describes not merely if you live/d there. This is a book written for a very specific audience who needs no explanation of the cultural or political references.
