About this title

Synopsis

Presents the works of some of China's highly controversial writers and thinkers, who discuss their country, its ancient cultural roots, and contemporary struggles under totalitarianism and other forms of repression as they represent these issues through artistic works

Reviews

For the newcomer to contemporary dissident Chinese literature and politics, this large anthology provides brief, often fascinating, glimpses at about 80 Chinese artists who want reform, not destruction, of the present government. Almost all the artists represented here have suffered either imprisonment, house arrest, or artistic suppression because they chose to discuss artistic freedom, women's issues, labor camps, sexuality, the situation of peasants, or torture in prisons. The translations, done mostly by the Australian editors, are truly superb. Recommended as an introduction. Kitty Chen Dean, Nassau Coll., Garden City, N.Y.
