Wang Xiaobo made his name as a novelist but his essays, too, have
become ongoing bestsellers in China since their publication in the
1990s. Bringing together his thoughts on reading and talking and
silence in the Cultural Revolution, about the irrepressible spirit
of one beloved pig he met while an 'educated youth', and about
being operated on via a textbook, these essays give a rare glimpse
into a world rarely seen and discussed with such honesty. Written
with a light touch and with a wry sense of humour, these are also
the essays of a great literary talent, grappling with sociology,
sexuality and feminism, with the cultural clash of living in the
USA, and with Chinese sci-fi, the internet, and beloved European
writers like Bertrand Russell and Italo Calvino.Electrifying,
containing a razor-sharp wit and intellect, this collection reveals
the voice of a generation to English-speaking readers for the very
first time.
