A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur :

Wang Shuo's more than twenty novels have sold nearly ten million copies. He has also written television series, scripts for movies (two of which were recently banned), and songs. Born in Nanjing in 1958, he spent four years in the navy and held a variety of odd and shady jobs, while starting to write. Beloved by Chinese students and workers alike for celebrating the "dark corners of new China" (Newsweek), he has never lost touch with the world of the low-life slackers who populate his fiction. Wang Shuo lives in Beijing with his wife and daughter.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

A tripped out sarcastic novel of urban alienation centred around a mysterious murder. Set in a Beijing populated by low-life gangsters and villains, it is narrated by the chief suspect of the crime though even he seems unclear as to whether he committed it or not. Rivetting. ""The most brilliantly entertaining hardboiled novel of the '90s...call it China noir. If you can imagine Raymond Chandler crossed with Bruce Lee that gives you the flavour. Most ultimately cool."" - Stephen King
