Synopsis

Ten Thousand Miles of Clouds and Moons gathers sixteen phenomenal
writers of the Chinese language in their English eight fiction
writers, six poets, and two essayists. Amongst these dazzling tellings,
the planets are being pulled closer to the earth; a treasured classical
fiction holds the secrets of the universe; shameful acts of urban
ennui are committed over- and underground; a couple navigates the
phantasmagoric border between life and death; the classrooms of the
eighties and nineties are fleetingly free.
Ranging from cityscapes to
mountain ranges, ancestral lands to parallel worlds, these authors
exhibit a panoramic vista of contemporary Chinese-language writing
at its most imaginative and incisive, balancing intellectual power with
lyrical enchantment to lend insight into a nation oscillating between
tradition and modernity, apocalyptic visions and pedestrian loves,
provocation and nostalgia, reality and dreamscapes.
