Winner of the 1993 Miles Franklin Literary Award, The Ancestor Game moves from Melbourne to Hangzhou, near Shanghai, as writer Steven Muir pieces together the story of exiled artist Lang Tzu. It is a novel of memory, displacement, family inheritance and the strange ways the past continues to shape the present.
