China's Avant-Garde Fiction by Jing Wang
Filled with mirages, hallucinations, myths, mental puzzles, and the fantastic, the contemporary experimental fiction of the Chinese avant-garde represents a genre of storytelling unlike any other. This book includes a selection of examples of this school of writing, which gained prominence in the late 1980s.
“This collection is bound to create an impact on the direction of research in Chinese literary studiesAnd Jing’s perceptive discussion of this school’s artistic and historical relevances is likely to become standard reference for future explorations of recent literary developments in China.”—Sung-sheng Yvonne Chang, University of Texas at Austin
