Points of Origin

English

By (author): Diao Dou

Translated by: Brendan O'Kane

Diao Dous short stories perform a kind of high-wire literary acrobatics; each one executes an immaculate mid-air transition, from closely observed social realism to surrealist parody, and back again. Covering all aspects of modern Chinese life from the high-minded morals of an emerging middle class, to the vividly remembered hardships of an all-too-recent collectivist past these stories offer a very particular window into the contemporary Chinese psyche, and show a culture struggling to keep pace with the extraordinary transformations that have befallen it in the space of a single lifetime.
