Tsing is a quiet and moving paean to the narrator’s deceased father. Beginning a series of imagined vignettes involving a father and a daughter, Albahari weaves both real and imagined narrative fragments together. As Albahari’s fragments - simple stories about persons approaching each other, spending some time together, and eventually going their separate ways - accumulate, his deft combination of paradox and poetry provides a kaleidoscopic view of memory, love and loneliness.
