A darkly funny and tender exploration of queer friendship, grief, and cultural dislocation, The Land of Ultimate Bliss traces two cynical, self-aware misfits—former high school outcasts turned UCLA roommates—who laugh at everything they’re too heartbroken to cry about.  Set between Los Angeles and Shanghai, the story traces how two individuals from a rapidly changing East Asian society navigate loss, memory, and love in a world where neither home nor belief feels solid. Beneath the sarcasm lies a deep yearning—for connection, for understanding, and for just one more life together.
