- Summary:
- A novel about love, revenge, art, and Feng Shui, as a Filipino street hustler assumes the persona of Master Chao, a revered Feng Shui practitioner from Hong Kong. Distorting the Eastern concept of Feng Shui to accommodate Western demands, he peddles his peculiar brand of holistic philosophy among New York City's elite. "Fixer Chao" raises questions of race and privilege, character and identity, and of what it means to be Asian at the turn of the 21st century.
