Fallen Angels

Set in the neon-washed underworld of present day Hong Kong, Fallen Angels intertwines two exhilarating tales of love and isolation. First there the unconsummated love affair between a contract killer and a ravishing female agent who books his assignments and cleans up after his jobs, and the second about an ex convict who makes a living by re-opening shops that have closed for the night and intimidates customers into buying goods and services from him. A poet of modern alienation, Wong's universe is populated with characters both dark and comic, magical and existential. (Artificial Eye)
