In the years since the death of Mao Zedong, interest in Chinese
writers and Chinese literature has risen significantly in the West.
In 2000, Gao Xingjian became the first Chinese writer to receive
the Nobel Prize for Literature followed by Mo Yan in 2012, and
writers such as Ha Jin and Da Sijie have also become well known in
the West. Despite this progress, the vast majority of Chinese
writers remain largely unknown outside of China. This book
introduces the lives and works of eighty contemporary Chinese
writers, and focuses on writers from the "Rightist" generation (Bai
Hua, Gao Xiaosheng, Liu Shaotang), writers of the Red Guard
generation (Li Rui, Wang Anyi), Post-Cultural Revolution Writers,
as well as others. Unlike earlier works, it provides detailed,
often first-hand, biographical information on this wide range of
writers, including their career trajectories, major themes and
artistic characteristics. In addition to this, each entry includes
a critical presentation and evaluation of the writer's major works,
a selected bibliography of publications that includes works in
Chinese, works translated into English, and critical articles and
books available in English. Offering a valuable contribution to the
field of contemporary Chinese literature by making detailed
information about Chinese writers more accessible, this book will
be of interest to students and scholars Chinese Literature,
Contemporary Literature and Chinese Studies.
