Description:
The Walking Boy is a quest novel set in early eighth-century
Tang Dynasty China, in the final days of the rule of the first Female Emperor
Wu Zhao. The ailing hermit monk Harelip sends his disciple Baoshi on a
pilgrimage from Mount Hua to Chang'an, the Western capital; Baoshi is the 'walking
boy' charged with locating Harelip's missing former lover Ardhanari. Baoshi
lives with a secret only his Master knows, and he is filled with fears of being
discovered. On his journey, Baoshi crosses paths with both commoners and imperial
officials, as well as others who take delight in their queer identities; in
doing so, he is released powerfully from his past shame.
The Walking Boy is a book of quiet subversion, upending
classical Chinese tropes with contemporary ideas around gender and feminism. Filled
with psychological complexities, magic and poetic allusions to classical
Chinese literature, The Walking Boy
explores the intrigue of inner alchemy while exorcising the ghosts of history.
'In The Walking Boy, Kwa's world-building is meticulous and
rich, her characters both intellectually gripping and incredibly sensual, and
she puts her signature subversive queer, feminist spin on the narrative.' — Amber Dawn, author of Sodom Road Exit
'At the court, at the caves, in the cities and the mountains,
secrets and mysteries abound. This novel has it all, palace intrigues,
betrayals, spirits, enlightenment, magic, and visual and sensual delights. A
diverse cast of fascinating characters and, page after page, poetic
pronouncements to guide one, to live and to die by. I was spellbound to the

The best pillow I've ever had!
Size: King (U.S. Standard), Number of Items: 2
I have tried a LOT of pillows over the years. I'm allergic to feathers so I need something non-allergenic. I am a back and side sleeper, and all of the pillows I've tried have gone flat after just a few weeks. Well I've had these for a couple of months now, and they show no sign of flatness whatsoever. A few punches or a fluff cycle in my dryer each week plumps them right up. They are just the right kind of firmness -- enough give so that I'm not kinking my neck, but not too much give so that my head ends up on the mattress by morning. I just cannot say enough good things about these pillows. I'm so excited that I finally found one that is perfect for me.
As others have said, they arrive vacuum packed. They look a bit weird, and it will make you wonder how they will ever fluff up from how flat they are when they arrive. But look at it as an opportunity to take out your frustrations lol. Whack them on a wall, punch the bejeebers out of them, it will make you feel good and it will inflate them right up. Or throw them in the dryer like I did and in 15 minutes you will have a perfectly fluffy pillow.
All in all, I highly recommend these. The price point is so reasonable, and they seem to be well made. Five stars all around.

Updated: actually very good pillows for the price
Size: King (U.S. Standard), Number of Items: 2
Wow! It is amazing at how compact these arrive in their package... it actually was a bit of work to get them out of the packaging it was so tight. Once out, they immediately began to "size up" and within about 15 minutes had reached maximum size.
They are comfortable pillows, but lack the firmness that I wanted. On a scale of 1-5, I'd rate them 3 at the most, possible a 2 if 5 is maximum firmness.
Updated: After about a month or so of having these, I have to admit my initial impressions were flat out wrong... these are fantastic... comfortable and more firm than I initially thought... probably 4-4.5 out of 5 on the firmness scale now. Maybe they just take a while to decompress? Anyway, would now definitely recommend!

Great pillows
Size: King (U.S. Standard), Number of Items: 4
These pillows are a must buy. Very soft and sturdy. It feels like a cloud when I lay on them. And I love how long they are too. The price for the amount was a huge bonus too.

I only use these pillows now
Size: King (U.S. Standard), Number of Items: 2
We’ll see if they keep their shape so far they have. They cradle my head well and I don’t wake up with neck pain anymore like I used to with my other pillows. Even my JC Penny feather down pillows lost shape so I switched to these and they are perfect. Extra large is great for me as I tend to roll around when I sleep. Perfect for back and side sleepers like me.
