Publisher's Synopsis

What happens when an art dealer, expert and author of a number of books on Chinese art turns to writing fiction? Having been immersed in the world of art for most of his life, Marcus Flacks shares with us his insights, knowledge and wisdom in The Cloud Collector, a highly original literary endeavour. The book, the first of three volumes, is a series of interwoven fable-like stories set in an unspecified time in the ancient empire of China, often inspired by Chinese works of art which themselves feature in the stories.
