This volume gathers personal reflections on life and literature by
44 of China's leading authors. It aims to illustrate how Chinese
society and its creative writing have supported, competed and
fought with each other for the past 40 years and more. Much of what
is revealed here is mundane, but the pressure of bringing art to
social and political causes, indeed the universal pressure to
survive, forges this collection into a very human document. The
strengths and weaknesses of these essays offer a window on those of
modern Chinese literature itself. Realism was the favoured literary
doctrine of the day, and, reflecting this, most of these essays
speak for themselves - about war, revolution, betrayal and
commitment.
