Marvellous ... Guo’s novelistic skills are apparent in the way no image or motif in Radical is accidental or wasted ... Digressive, intellectually rich and stimulating.
Guo touches on themes of love, migration, cultural alienation and feminism in what reads like a stream of consciousness ... Radical reads like a mapping of Guo’s mind, interspersed with memoir. This unorthodox method probably reflects the way we actually think more accurately than a standard narrative.
