Eddy Boudel Tan’s newest book, The Tiger and the Cosmonaut, is a noirish page-turner about a mysterious disappearance and a moving portrait of a Chinese Canadian family navigating insecurities and simmering anger in their small town near the Sunshine Coast. With a story that examines how immigrant families are exploited by society, Eddy will share how he used elements of mystery to disguise his book about race and class.
