Second paragraph of third chapter:

I’ve been steering BeiBei from one quiet game to another so that he would not overwhelm XX the second he returns. I did not grow up in a nurturing household. Now that Hann has given me a taste of that, I want to create that feeling for my son. For all of us. I crave it like food and water.

One of the Chinese SF books that was recommended to me last spring. In a near future China, polyandrous marriages are the norm thanks to the legacy of the gender imbalance caused by the One Child Policy; homosexuality and divorce are pretty much banned. Our protagonists are a young man and a young woman; he wants to join her marriage, but one of her current husbands is a gaming addict and the other is gay, and everyone is subject to state repression. I confess I was not as blown away by this as by the other Chinese SF novels I read in 2021; in real life, the effects of the One Child Policy are apparently not as severe as first reported, and apart from that, I found it a bit of a soap opera. You can get it here.

This came to the top of my pile of unread books by non-white writers. Next up is Breasts and Eggs, by Mieko Kawakami.
