The Lost Boat
“Five short stories and three longer short stories by some of China’s neglected contemporaries, edited with an introduction by Henry Y.H. Zhao. Forget everything you know about contemporary Chinese fiction. These stories will shock and compel. You will learn something new about life and literature, not just ‘life and literature in China’. The world of these writers is not without its horror and violence, but its representation is one aspect of a sophisticated, maturing artistic vision which distinguishes a new generation of young Chinese writers who will demand recognition in the West.”
