U.S.A.: Knopf, 2001. Hardcover, 1st American edition. Very slight edgewear and minor bowing of covers, all else fine. Dust jacket has seen better days but still present. From the Back Cover: "This book is a record of intense soul-searching, of a reevaluation of the self's role in the family, and of the impossibility of understanding and mastering one's (mis)fortune. Su Xiaokang writes with candor, feeling, and intelligence. In an allegorical sense, this book is a concise history of the exiled soul. Its rich details, acute observations, and relentless self-questioning mark an earnest but tempered mind at work. Zhu Hong's supple translation has rendered the prose achingly beautiful." -Ha Jin, National Book Award-winning author of Waiting. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Fair to Good.
