Maidenhome by Xiaoqi Ding

The end of the Cultural Revolution in China in 1976 marked the beginning of an exciting phase of literary activity as the state loosened its grip on literature & the arts. One of the most significant developments has been the emergence of scores of women writers articulating female experience & re-opening questions of gender in new fiction. Ding Xiaoqi, whose work in English translation is collected here for the first time, ranks as one of the most daring shapers of this new tradition for her treatment of taboo subjects like rape & adultery, & as one of its most sophisticated stylists for her intense renderings of highly subjective states. This 1993 University of Otago Press Paperback is in near mint condition.
