Synopsis

A totally illuminating collection of stories centered around China's Cultural Revolution and its aftermath, which, as we learn, continues even today-with both sides still holding out, with "apologies forthcoming." Xujun's older sister fought and died in the Cultural Revolution. Xujun herself lived in China during that tumultuous period and now makes her home in America. This, her first story collection, is both disturbing and enthralling.
