China''s hottest literary genre brings together the traditional, the experimental, and the avant-garde.
Hugely popular in China, flash fiction is poised to be the most exciting new development in contemporary Chinese literature in a decade. Integrating both vernacular and contemporary styles while embracing new technologies such as text messaging (SMS) and blogging, contemporary Chinese flash fiction represents the voice of a civilization at the brink of a startling and unprecedented transformation.
This collection features 120 short-short stories (from 100 to 300 words each), written by some of China''s most dynamic and versatile authors. Dong Rui''s The Pearl Jacket offers a glimpse of the real and surreal in human evolution, Chen Qiyou''s Butterfly Forever brings an ancient Chinese literary motif into a startling modern context, while Liu Jianchao''s Concerned Departments mocks the staggering complexity of life in the new urban China.
Traditional, experimental, and avant-garde, The Pearl Jacket and Other Stories will reinvigorate the position of young Chinese writers as a major presence in contemporary literature. Their voices breathe new energy into modern Chinese literature, leaving the literary and societal stagnation of the Cultural Revolution behind as a distant memory.
