Beschreibung
Ten Thousand Miles of Clouds and Moons gathers sixteen phenomenalwriters of the Chinese language in their English debut: eight fictionwriters, six poets, and two essayists. Amongst these dazzling tellings,the planets are being pulled closer to the earth; a treasured classicalfiction holds the secrets of the universe; shameful acts of urbanennui are committed over- and underground; a couple navigates thephantasmagoric border between life and death; the classrooms of theeighties and nineties are fleetingly free. Ranging from cityscapes tomountain ranges, ancestral lands to parallel worlds, these authorsexhibit a panoramic vista of contemporary Chinese-language writingat its most imaginative and incisive, balancing intellectual power withlyrical enchantment to lend insight into a nation oscillating betweentradition and modernity, apocalyptic visions and pedestrian loves,provocation and nostalgia, reality and dreamscapes.
