	Lai 2004 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Lai takes this character from Chinese mythology, where she is the goddess who separated heaven from earth and created humanity from clay.
		She is described as having the head of a woman and the body of a serpent but Lai works her own modification of this traditional mythological figure, combining her with the story of the mermaid who becomes human and combining Nu Wa’s shape-shifting with the myth of eternal reincarnation.
		Lai suggests an explanation for this emphasis in her essay, "Corrupted Lineage: Narrative in the Gaps of History" (2000).

		Larissa Lai has contributed to community projects including the Yellow Peril: Reconsidered catalogue (1990); the Writing Thru Race conference (1994) and the special issue of West Coast Line called Colour.
		Lai also wrote When Fox is a Thousand (1996), an acclaimed first novel that was shortlisted for the Chapters/Books in Canada First Novel Award.
		The novel builds on the "myths of history" Lai explored in her first novel and extends their implications to a future marked by biotechnology, cloning, corporate rule, and the superexploitation of workers.

		In it, three narrative voices and their attendant cultures are interwoven: a fox growing toward wisdom and her thousandth birthday, the ninth-century Chinese poetess Yu Hsuan-Chi, and the oddly named Artemis, a young Asian-American woman living in contemporary Vancouver.
		Lai moves with a sure hand from one to the other throughout the novel.
		She seems as comfortable in the world of Chinese mythology as she does in the west coast Canada of the nineties, with its underlying tensions: its racism, homophobia, and general ennui.

	Spring 2003 Book Reviews
		Miranda Ching, the heroine of Larissa Lai's second novel, Salt Fish Girl, grapples with these questions throughout the centuries of her ever-changing, ageless life.
		Like Lai's first novel, When Fox is a Thousand, the characters in Salt Fish Girl move back and forth from age to age, from human to not human, without much of a wrinkle in style.
		Lai weaves politics and love together with ghastly images of a world gone to hell, and redeems it all with the possibility of immaculately conceived girl babies.

	Review: When Fox Is a Thousand by Larissa Lai
		This made me a fitting audience for this book in some ways, since Lai is rewriting old folktales and myths from her own perspective, taking them apart and applying them to a completely different community, that of second-generation Chinese-Canadian immigrants.
		And the afterward in the revised edition that I read was fascinating, and made me want to read more by Larissa Lai on anthropology and immigrant culture.
		This is the sort of book that I would have enjoyed reading as part of a book club or reading group, since I think I would have gotten even more out of it by talking it over with other people.

		Particularly interesting are the written and visual tales that have been spun by Philip Huang, Jimm Tran, Daniel Lee, SLAAAP/APICHA and Larissa Lai.
		Larissa Lai’s Fish Bones is a forced gender-bending Cinderella story.
		Lai weaves the tale of a mother so desperate to keep her stepson (a product of her husband’s concubine) from taking over the family home that she disguises him as a girl from birth, a mistake that comes back to haunt her.

	FFWD Weekly - December 5, 2002
		In an interview at the University of Calgary, where Lai is now pursuing a PhD in English, I asked her about this aspect of the book.
		Maybe the story is shaped more like a net than a line, but it does manage to catch references both topical and historical.
		What they, and Lai, take comfort from is the way life can continue to, as Miranda puts it, "grow out of the most fetid-smelling places."

		Myths of Origin and Myths of the Future in Larissa Lai's Salt Fish Girl
		By examining how his autobiographical writing re-enacts this apostasy, this paper discusses less the metaphysical arguments he makes in his chapter on "Religious Belief", than how the accounts of Darwin's own origins engage rhetorically and stylistically with questions both of biblical fallibility or authority and of divine creation.
		Considering both cyborg theory and mythography, this essay compares the treatment of cyborgs and origin myths in Larissa Lai's Salt Fish Girl and Donna Haraway's "A Cyborg Manifesto: Science, Technology and Socialist-Feminism in the Late Twentieth Century." Lai exploits and plays with myth, showing the ways in which myths offer possibilities instead of constraints.
