this place was built by migrants / and we have been eating here ever since’

sikfan glaschu is an exploration of identity and authenticity, told through the lens of the city of Glasgow and its restaurants, cafes, languages, histories and lockdowns. By using the city as a starting point, Sean Wai Keung examines his own relationship to food, migration and family, as well as the very notion of ‘belonging’ somewhere in the first place. Written with honesty and humour, sikfan glaschu is Wai Keung’s exciting debut full-length collection.

‘Through his inventive use of form and language, Sean Wai Keung’s latest collection sikfan glaschu explores the new possibilities to understand and chronicle a British-born Chinese person’s multiple sense of belonging and cultural identity, and the unforgettable experience of the local during the lockdown. Written with honesty and humour, this collection—filled with surprising food memories and adventures—makes one question the meaning of culture, legitimacy and authenticity.’ – Jennifer Wong
