Chairman Mao Would Not Be Amused: Fiction from Today's China

Jacket Description/Back: This book is a showcase for twenty writers from the new literary generation in China. Hard-core realism, experimental prose, and black humor; exoticism and eroticism; shocking tales of brutality, tender evocations of love, and engrossing mysteries all coexist in an anthology that spans nearly a decade, ten years that have witnessed a dizzying array of societal and political changes.
