*Winner 2005 City of Edmonton Book AwardThe Mystery of the Frozen Brains is adapted from Marty Chan's successful radio series The Dim Sum Diaries. Set in a French Canadian town in rural Alberta, the novel develops the coming to awareness of a Chinese boy in a community under the myriad of cultural influences including French, English, and Ukrainian. As serious as the novel's thematic dispatch is, Chan provides buoyant, gifted humour.
