Gary is a country boy turned pop star who is spinning out of control. Justin is in Sh anghai to expand his family's real estate empire, only to find that he migh t not be up to the task. He has long harbored a crush on Yinghui, a poetry- loving, left-wing activist who has reinvented herself as a successful Shang hai businesswoman. Yinghui is about to make a deal with the shadowy Walter Chao, the five star billionaire of the novel, who with his secrets and his schemes has a hand in the lives of each of the characters. All bring their dreams and hopes to Shanghai, the shining symbol of the New China, which, l ike the novel's characters, is constantly in flux and which plays its own f ateful role in the lives of its inhabitants. Five Star Billionaire is a dazzling, kaleidoscopic novel that offers rare insight into the booming world of Shanghai, a city of elusive identities and ever-changing skylines, of grand ambitions and outsize dreams. Bursting with energy, contradictions, and the promise of possibility, Tash Aw's remarkable new book is both poignant and comic, exotic and familia.
