The Kitchens of Canton by Isham Cook catapults the reader through time and space as our anti hero Jeff Malmuist finds himself in New Gary Indiana A provocative comedy of errors with hints of Hunter S Thompson and Kurt Vonnegut running through it this is a mind bending story that must certainly resemble an acid trip While a spiky enthralling commentary on the political meanderings of modern society Cook throws in a good measure of sexual romps androids and future realms that tax the brain Unless you can read various languages much of the book is not readable Breeze past that and there is rampant humor and human degradation Entertaining with a cutting edge this book is wildly different and not to be missed

I was wrong In my 2016 review of Isham Cook s At the Teahouse Cafe I predicted that our libertine writer s move away from the erotic was an attempt to transition into mainstream literary acceptance But Beijing based Isham noped out of any possibility of ever being read by Murican minivan moms when he decided to write his novel The Kitchens of CantonFreed by the constraints of non fiction Cook uses fiction less to tell a conventional story and as a psychic medium to transcend time continents languages dimensions and physical parameters His non linear narrative makes about as much sense as reading a Choose Your Own Adventure straight through while simultaneously snorting Chinese ketamineKitchens is a 242 page mindfck induced most likely by a combination of LSD gender fluid sexual experimentation and unbridled brilliance Few lay readers will make it past the second chapter which is when Isham unrestrained by any semblance of editing begins weaving in foreign languages without translation or explanationXiansheng wo buzai zheli zheli zuo gongzuo she calmly told the man She pointed to a young waitress who had pulled out her breasts and beckoned him to the second floor Ta hui manzu nin Feichang gangxieAnd yet those who persevere through Isham s pataphysical delirium will be rewarded punished with an experience slightly less exasperating than Samuel Beckett s How It Is but far exhilarating than anything else currently being published in the American mass market This passage from Kitchens essentially sums it all upHave you ever been aware that you re having a dream Or woken up while you re still in a dream

I said I was going to broaden my horizon when it came to my bookshelf and I have to say that The Kitchens of Canton by Isham Cook is like nothing I have ever read beforeIt goes way beyond the horizon I admit that sometimes I had no idea what was going on thanks to large chunks of dialogue written in different languages but it didn t really matter I could skim read these passages and get to the good stuff all the uicker and by the good stuff I mean sexand lots of it The future Isham Cook presents is pretty dark but at least there are no barriers and judgments when it comes to consensual sex There is humour but Cook also offers an insight in a potential future for this world it isn t so hard to imagine a world where China rules supreme when you consider the immense economic power they possess It s uite the scary thought as I would be hopeless in a work labour camp or as a slaveI m not sure I can adeuately explain the plot or this time bending and mind mashing but I do recommend it highly You will not forget this one in a hurry I promise you that A must read for all fans of dystopian fiction Not only is the plot imaginative and exciting but it is also so thought provoking you will have some serious uestions about your future
