Li Hongtian’s two publisher listings offer different ways into fantasy through a working life. In As a Father, Li Che learns what a household can afford by carving wood. In the publisher’s description of Gourmet of Another World, a small restaurant serves dishes made with extraordinary ingredients.
The family novel opens on the night of a birth. A frozen carp is waiting to be cooked and a father has to be reminded to collect it. Readers who enjoy following money, material and care through the same scene can start there. Readers curious about running a restaurant in a fantasy world can follow the publisher’s link below.
