This book offers a case study of four of the most influential contemporary Chinese writers and ‚cultural bastards‘ – Duoduo, an underground ‚misty‘ poet; Wang Shuo, a ‚hooligan‘ writer; Zhang Chengzhi, an old ‚Red Guard‘ and new ‚cultural heretic‘; and Wang Xiaobo, a chronicler of Rabelaisian modern history.
