The White Door

by Stephen Chan
ebook
Read a sample Read a sample
The White Door is a fictionalised account of growing up Chinese in New Zealand by a scholar, diplomat and martial artist.
“Stephen Chan’s novel is a magical masterpiece that fascinates and moves the reader in equal measure. Drawing on his own cosmopolitan, hybrid and intriguing background, he manages to fuse fantasy with fact, resulting in a realist fictional memoir that speaks eloquently to the reader and grapples with multi-culturalism, estrangement and identity in today’s globalised world.”
— Zeinab Badawi    
“Set against a backdrop of war, exclusion, refugee life and the protests of the 60s. Stephen Chan’s luminous novel is an invitation to explore the loving and lovely irrationalities of survival and dreams.” — Helena Kennedy
“Images from Hollywood comic books to Dante’s Hell take us across a political landscape that embraces the ancient civilization of China and New Zealand. This book will help us navigate the tribulations of our generation.”
— Tim Shadbolt
