The Big Red Book of Modern Chinese Literature by Yunte Huang

The Big Red Book of Modern Chinese Literature by Yunte Huang

A panoramic literary anthology that explores the inner story of China in the twentieth century.

"Huang is previously the author of a witty and stylish book about Charlie Chan which drew on a variety of artforms – from doggerel verses to B-movies – to reflect on the representation of China in the WestThe Big Red Book, which benefits from translations by a Who’s Who of talent, is similarly wide-ranging. And while Huang’s prose choices are relatively conventional, his selections of poems and sketches of their authors are engagingly idiosyncratic." -- The Times Literary Supplement
"[A] worthwhile anthology... that manages to combine the established canon with less-well-known selections... [Its] breadth and variety…will, one hopes, encourage new readers to explore more Chinese literature in full translations." -- Julia Lovell - The New York Times Book Review
"...a magisterial new volume..." -- The Herald

Yunte Huang, a Guggenheim Fellow, has taught at Harvard and the University of California, Santa Barbara, where he is a Distinguished Professor of English. The author of the Edgar Award–winning biography Charlie Chan and Inseparable, both NBCC finalists, Huang speaks frequently about American popular culture.
