James Tam

James Tam's first novel Man's Last Song was a Proverse Prize finalist in 2011. The story is set in the future, when a self-endangered species Homo sapiens faces protracted extinction due to universal sterility. It's full of ironies, realism, and simulated hindsights, but not at all dystopian.

He writes bilingually in English and Chinese. Depending on the language, he tells the same story very differently. His short stories HEAVEN, Mid-life Triad, Comfort Woman Eleanor, Between Lives, Gollum’s Demon, among others, have been published by the Hong Kong Writers Circle, the Asia Literary Review, Ethos (to be included in anthology “Walk On The Moon” in late 2016, as well as Hong Kong's foremost Chinese literary magazines "Hong Kong Writers". They can be found in his blog: guo-du.blogspot.com.

His next book Flower Lounge, a semi-fiction, is half done.
