This Generation
Authors: Han Han
Praise for
This Generation
“The publication of [Han Han] in English is, in some ways, a rare
example of a piece of authentic, contemporary Chinese culture
making its way into the Western world.”
â
The Wall Street Journal
(Asia edition)
“Han Han, the enfant terrible of Chinese letters, makes enemies as
he conquers the world literature stage.”
â
The Daily Beast
“Witty and acerbic . . . Han Han is excellent at lancing the boil of
ânational humiliation' and pointing out that other proud nations
care far less about perceived slights.”
â
Forbes.com
“A collection of some of his most interesting and politically relevant
essays, [This Generation] is filled with commentary poking fun at
officials and nationalists. But Han is careful not to go too far. . . .
He can be outrageous and funny, be also carefully elliptical and
shrewdly vague.”
â
The New York Review of Books
(online)
“A must-read for anyone, especially 20- and 30-somethings, itching
to understand China today.”
â
Kirkus Reviews
