This book offers a case study of four of the most influential contemporary Chinese writers and 'cultural bastards' - Duoduo, an underground 'misty' poet; Wang Shuo, a 'hooligan' writer; Zhang Chengzhi, an old 'Red Guard' and new 'cultural heretic'; and Wang Xiaobo, a chronicler of Rabelaisian modern history.
This book offers a fresh and nuanced perspective into contemporary Chinese literature by presenting four authors and cultural bastards-Duo Duo, an underground seer-poet; Wang Shuo, a "hooligan" writer; Zhang Chengzhi, an old Red Guard and new cultural heretic; and Wang Xiaobo, a defiant yet melancholy chronicler of a dystopian modern world. It analyzes each of these authors'' distinctive (re)visions of a double-faced Chinese modernity against a collective legacy of the Cultural Revolution, and argues for the restoration of a historical horizon of China''s transition from the Cultural Revolution to a hybrid moment of the present and future ridden with uncertainties.
