Wolfman

One of the most successful Chinese novelists in years is trying to keep his identity on the DL.

According to Mr. Jiang, Chinese civilization is the product of two strains, nomadic and agricultural, and each has its symbols, the wolf and the dragon. For the author, the wolf is akin to the soul of the Mongolian grasslands, a worthy rival to man as well as a symbol of heaven itself. "You can look at the wolf and dragon as opposites," he said. "The dragon represents autocratic emperors. The wolf means freedom, the mother of democracy, and China opposes freedom more than anything else."

Um, no wonder. Let's hope he doesn't end up in prison again. And: Jack London? Oh, I guess the wolf thing. Just jarring in that list.

hmmm...lovely article. seems toronto could use some vibrant night markets like they have in taipei and taichung. at the moment, i couldn't imagine trying to hand sell a book at midnight on yonge street.

Selling books with a smile

A heartwarming column at Moby by Dan Bloom, a US expat living in Taiwan who handsells his Chinese-language books in the night markets there.

Panda Sex

Panda Sex sounds appealing, especially if you have a thing for, you know, bears who hardly ever fuck.

Beijing banned her collection of short fiction La La La along with Candy after a reportedly furious Jiang Zemin, then president, himself recited to the Politburo a passage describing casual sex.

Mian Mian was one of the first writers to address China's underworld of drug addicts and social misfits as the country began in the 1980s to race away from decades of communist dystopia and headlong to full-blown commercialism and self-nihilism.
