Spine width: 17mm - By turns flexible and delicate, taciturn and effusive, this collection of memoirs and micro-essays project in filmic clarity the cool head, dry wit and social conscience that have made Su Tong the 'master of implication' among China's leading writers. Ranging from street-level portraits of a boisterous and rapidly changing nation to quiet musings on humanity's strange and secret compulsions, Su Tong offers a glimpse behind the curtain into the workings of a keen mind that helped shape the literary and popular culture of modern China.
