The Drawer Game | 2026 China
The Drawer Game is inspired by a childhood memory shared by my younger brother and me. When we were children, we turned the space under our grandparents’ old desk into a secret world of our own.
For children, small hidden places—a corner under a table, a balcony, a tree hollow, or a tiny room—can become private kingdoms. They are places for imagination, exploration, and building a first sense of self.
Years later, I realized this memory had stayed with us. This book is about childhood, imagination, and the need for a private place. It is dedicated to every child, and also to the child we once were.
