Abstract

Food Is Heaven, Ge Liang’s latest full-length novel, is narrated from the perspective of food culture and offers the experience of historical legends to readers by telling stories of simple and repetitive daily routines, forming the writer’s unique perspective of observing and writing about Hong Kong, China. The “eating” in the novel is treated not merely as a daily need in life, but as a reflection on culture and history in the broader sense.

Keywords Ge Liang, Food Is Heaven, thingness lyricism
