Modern Chinese Writers: Self-Portrayals

This is an anthology of translations of twenty-five stories from the three worlds of contemporary Chinese fiction - the People's Republic, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. Realistic yet ironic, these stories are concerned with he more personal and immediate themes of love and romance, mothers and sons, and the struggle of ordinary people in modern Chinese societies. This is the first collection to gather the best stories from all "three Chinas" in one volume.
