Reception
Kung's first novel was reviewed in the Chicago Tribune as being “an unusual debut— lyrical and suspenseful.”[28] The Buffalo News review of the book noted that the "Far East mystery is as notable for its portrayal of Hong Kong while being returned to Communist China as it is for its intimate study of maternal love. Dinah Küng proves an expert storyteller."[29]
Novelist Laila Lalami, discussing the limited exposure of new authors, noted that after the hardcover of Küng's A Visit from Voltaire sold out, since the paperback was published by London publisher Peter Halban, it was not available in the US, but could only through be ordered through the British Amazon site. Lalami urged readers to seek it out.[30] This cross-Atlantic publishing barrier is also mentioned in a profile of the Hablan publishing company, including their difficulty marketing the "scabrous, funny" novel in America.[31]
