About This Item
Penguin, 2023. 1st edition. Hardcover. Very fine in very fine dustjacket. The Sunday Times said that 'This could be the most hilarious black comedy to come out of Mao-era China. Wang sends his unfortunate protagonist, as he was sent in real life himself, for ''re-education'' - which only leads him, via some sinister encounters with the Chinese police, to a farcical sexual awakening. Banned on publication in 1992 in China but soon pirated, this book is a little-known gem'. Wang Xiaobo died of a heart attack in 1997.
