Ten Thousand Miles of Clouds and Moons gathers sixteen phenomenal
writers of the Chinese language in their English debut: eight fiction
writers, six poets, and two essayists. Amongst these dazzling tellings,
the planets are being pulled closer to the earth; a treasured classical
fiction holds the secrets of the universe; shameful acts of urban
ennui are committed over- and underground; a couple navigates the
phantasmagoric border between life and death; the classrooms of the
eighties and nineties are fleetingly free.
Ranging from cityscapes to
mountain ranges, ancestral lands to parallel worlds, these authors
exhibit a panoramic vista of contemporary Chinese-language writing
at its most imaginative and incisive, balancing intellectual power with
lyrical enchantment to lend insight into a nation oscillating between
tradition and modernity, apocalyptic visions and pedestrian loves,
provocation and nostalgia, reality and dreamscapes.
