Shanghai Dancing is the most highly regarded and popular novel by multi-award winning Australian author, Brian Castro. In it, his fictional persona Antonío Castro faces dispossession in Australia after the death of his parents.

In an attempt to recover something of the inheritance that has been denied him, he brings his parents and grandparents, aunts and uncles, and their tangled relationships, back to life, by recounting their stories and by rediscovering, in the photographs and documents and secrets which they left behind, the defections and betrayals which have led to his own disinheritance.
