Owlish by Dorothy Tse
Set in a surreal, dreamlike city, the narrative follows a disillusioned professor who becomes entranced by a mysterious mechanical ballerina. As he delves deeper into this obsession, the boundaries between reality and fantasy blur, revealing a world filled with political unrest and personal turmoil. The story explores themes of desire, escapism, and the consequences of losing oneself in illusions, all while painting a vivid picture of a society on the brink of transformation.
