The dazzling essays of the beloved, subversive Chinese writer Wang Xiaobo, a continual bestseller in China, now in English for the first time.
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.
‘A very captivating book. Wang Xiaobo’s unique blend of rationality, serenity, candor, and sense of humour serves as an embodiment of the liberalism he ardently believes in.’ Ali Weiwei
