{"product_id":"chinese-literature-and-culture-volume-yiwei-xue-9781530443246","title":"Chinese Literature and Culture Volume 5: Xue Yiwei and His War Stories","description":"\"Xue Yiwei is a maverick in contemporary Chinese literature. He stays alone and aloof, far away from restive crowds back in his homeland. For him, to write is to make a pilgrimage to his masters: Joyce, Borges, Calvino, Proust. He writes with deep devotion and intense concentration. His fiction often meditates on life, history, violence, exile. This selection of stories can open a window into the fiction world he has constructed. As an admirer of his, I salute his courage, stamina, and his love of solitude.\" Ha Jin, winner of the National Book Award This volume features five stories--God's Chosen Photographer, \"The True Story of a Family,\" \"Winning the First Battle,\" \"A Turning Point in History, and \"The Veteran\" with commentarires from Xiao Liu, Fraser Sutherland, Craig Hulst, Caroline A. Brown, Stephen Nashef, and Amy Hawkins.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yiwei Xue,Dongwei Chu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1530443245\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781530443246\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/31\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.23d","brand":"Yiwei Xue","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47930835697919,"sku":"9781530443246","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c16242f7-71b4-46d3-ac3b-1e9abd702a6f.jpg?v=1766344595","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/chinese-literature-and-culture-volume-yiwei-xue-9781530443246","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
