Dung Kai-cheung's A Catalog of Such Stuff as Dreams Are Made On is a playful and imaginative glimpse into the consumerist dreamscape of late-nineties Hong Kong. Each of these stories in miniature begins from a piece of ephemera, usually consumer products or pop culture phenomena, and develops alternately comic and poignant snapshots of urban life.Dung's sketches center on once-trendy items that evoke the world at the turn of the millennium, such as Hello Kitty, Final Fantasy VIII, a Windows 98 disk, a clamshell mobile phone, Air Jordans, and cargo shorts. First published in 1999, it comprises ninety-nine sketches of life just after the handover of the former British colony to China.
Characters embark on brief dalliances or relationships The protagonist of each piece, typically a young woman, is struck by an odd, even overriding obsession with an object or fad.
