"Ha Jin's Dismount Fort teems with vivid life and people who grow ever less strange as their struggles unfold. An exotic subject matter helps, but narrative talent proves victorious." - Time Magazine. "Splendidly fluid and clear: Ha Jin has managed to make an utterly alien world seem as familiar as an old friend." - Kirkus Reviews. "Ha Jin is a master satirist, not so much of Chinese politics as of the human psyche when it' being twisted and pummeled by some higher authority." - The Chicago Tribune. "[Ha Jin] infuses his tales with unforgettable characters who are grappling with questions of honor and shame, passion vs. respectability." - San Jose Mercury News. "Mr. Jin's haunting portraits of life in China, particularly during the Cultural Revolution of the 1960s and 1970, are shattering conventional expectations of what it is to be a 'Chinese writer,' and at the same time attracting torrents of praise." - The Asian Wall Street Journal. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Ha Jin was born in Liaoning, China and served six years in the People's Liberation Army. He is the author of two books of poetry, two short story collections, and a novel, and is the recipient of the Flannery O'Connor and the PEN/Hemingway Awards for fiction.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 207 pages. Published in 1997. The author's second collection of short stories. Now considered a contemporary classic. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run by a university press, the University of Chicago Press, as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Ha Jin's "Under The Red Flag". One of his landmark, defining works. Ha Jin has seamlessly and eloquently melded historical fact with personal experience. His short stories have been compared to the works of Isaac Babel, the greatest Russian short-story writer of the 20th century. The weight of History impinges upon his characters, often unbearably so, but the historical canvas never overwhelms what is most gripping about any story, the destiny of every particular human being or as Harold Bloom once put it, "every particular human suffering, which is the true subject of literature". Ha Jin came to the United States as an adult barely able to speak English. He still has difficulty speaking it and has said that the main impetus for writing is the opportunity it affords him to sit down and write and re-write, edit and re-edit, and start all over again if necessary until he is satisfied with the results. He has begun and abandoned works that he has lost count of in the process. But he has learned the language to the point that he is now regarded as one of its living Masters. He uses his acquired language as an incomparable storyteller and poet of the first rank who bears witness to the collision between personal experience (in all its pain, beauty, and complexity) and the arbitrary suffering that History, Fate, and Destiny inflict upon all human beings, whether they be powerful or powerless. His sympathy for every human being in all his or her particularity is unsurpassed among contemporary American writers. Ha Jin opted to remain in the United States, teaches at Boston University, and is a naturalized American. "Ha Jin profoundly understands the conflict between the individual and society, between the timeless universality of the human heart, and constantly shifting politics of the moment. With wisdom, restraint, and empathy for all his characters, he vividly reveals the complexities and subtleties of a world and a people we desperately need to know" (Award Citation, National Book Award). An absolute "must-have" title for Ha Jin collectors. This title is a contemporary classic.

Winner of the PEN/Hemingway Award for "Ocean of Words". Winner of the Flannery O'Connor Award For Short Fiction for "Under The Red Flag".
