About This Novel
While the mathematician dropped the ninth grain of jasmine into the monk's bowl at Xiang Thong Temple, the woman writing the novel was fishing for the last embers of the Mekong Krathong. The aerial roots of the thousand-year-old banyan tree hang down the catenary, and the overtones of the bronze drum carve the dreamlike coordinates of the "Peony Pavilion" on the Riemann surface. They used Gödel's incompleteness theorem to translate the rainforest monsoon, and folded unsent love letters into the Coriolis pattern of tropical cyclones - until ancient jade seeds grew enamel growth rings on each other's palm prints, they were shocked to realize that all encounters were carefully disguised mathematical induction.
