Mercedes Eng's first book is a risky and profoundly unsettling work of "auto-cartography," documenting the struggles and politics of everyday life in Vancouver, foregrounding the literal and figurative violence behind the euphemism "missing women," resistance to the Olympic-Industrial Complex, and other legacies of colonialism that continue to haunt the fragile "City of Glass."
