Paperback. Condition: Very Good. A dazzling debut collection which, deftly and urgently, tells the stories of those living in the biggest and most complicated country on earth. A BARACK OBAMA READING LIST SELECTION FOR SUMMER 2021 In this magnificent collection of stories, the author vividly captures the desires and losses of a richly drawn cast while drawing on the realities of contemporary ChinaCosmopolitan A brother competes for gaming glory while his twin sister exposes the dark side of theCommunistgovernment on her underground blog; a worker at a government call centre is alarmed one day to find herself speaking to a former lover; a delicious new fruit arrives at the neighbourhood market and the locals find it starts to affect their lives in ways they could never have imagined; and a young woman's dreams of making it big inShanghaiare stalled when she finds herself working as a florist. These are just some of the myriad lives to be evoked in The Land of Big Numbers, a collection of stories which - sometimes playfully, sometimes darkly - draws back the curtain on the realities of modernChinaand unveils a cast of characters as rich and complicated as any inworld literature. With virtuosic brilliance, Te-ping Chen sheds light on a country much talked about but little understood and announces the birth of a bright new star in the literary firmament. Praise for Land of Big Numbers A spectacular work, comic, timely, profound. Te-Ping Chen has a superb eye for detail in a China where transformation occurs simultaneously too fast and too slow for lives in pursuit of meaning in a brave new world. Her characters are achingly alive. Its rare to read a collection so satisfying, where every story adds to a gripping and intricate world.Madeleine Thien, author of the Booker-shortlistedDo Not Say We Have Nothing Te-Ping ChensLand of Big Numberscontains 10 illuminating, sharp stories set in China, penned by a former investigative reporter who worked in Beijing for several yearsThe Independent 'Chinas borders have remained closed to foreign travellers since the first few months of the Covid pandemic, and look set to remain so in the immediate future. For those who want a peek inside the country, this very readable collection of short stories is a great place to start.' Financial Times Te-Ping Chen shows us how much life, loss, and quiet pleasure exists in the world, just out of view.Alexandra Kleeman, author of You Too Can Have a Body Like Mine. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR011088813
