A varied and engaging collection of contemporary stories for the
advanced language student This reader for advanced students of
Chinese presents ten post-1990 short stories by prominent writers
such as Su Tong and Yu Hua, whose novels Raise the Red Lantern and
To Live served as the basis for internationally acclaimed films.
With its captivating content dealing with current social issues, it
fills a gap in the literature for advanced language students who
are eager to read extensively in real literature. Vocabulary lists
free the student from the chore of constantly consulting a
dictionary while reading, grammar and usage examples highlight new
patterns, and questions for discussion explore the literary
content. This all-fiction collection of contemporary works can be
used as a text in language or literature courses or can be read
independently.
Written by authors from Quebec as well as France, the majority of these stories have been published in the last decade and reflect a rich diversity of styles and themes. From Daniel Boulanger's exploration of revenge and the desire for recognition in "The Hunter's Cafe," to Alain Gerber's brief and poetic "You Never Die," these stories make excellent reading in any language.
