Review
The ingredients of this first thriller by Canadian acting teacher David Rotenberg are so unusual--everything from the techniques of putting on a production of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night in China to the connection between a sliced-up corpse and the art of making dim sum--that you might miss a basic fact: Rotenberg is a sly, masterful storyteller who knows that having fun is an important part of the job. His local color is splendid, and his cast of lead characters (a very smart cop named Zhong Fong, an expert killer known as Mr. Lo, a Canadian producer with more than a few similarities to the author) come to full-size life very quickly. And the motives for the death by filleting knife of a New Orleans policeman and an African diplomat turn out to be understandable, if not entirely logical--a condition that seems to describe most of Zhong Fong's life. --Dick Adler
