sikfan glaschu
Sean Wai Keung
‘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.
