Description

Jia Pingwa stands as one of contemporary China's most significant yet understudied literary figures, with novels that have generated both widespread acclaim and cultural debate across the Chinese-speaking world. This pioneering academic study fills a critical gap in Pingwa scholarship by providing the first substantial examination of his complete literary corpus, from novels and poetry to prose works. The book establishes Pingwa's cultural importance and relevance to modern Chinese society whilst exploring his writing through the lens of cultural nationalism. Comprehensive and rigorous, this Routledge Contemporary China Series volume offers scholars, educators and serious readers essential insight into how Pingwa's distinctive voice has shaped contemporary Chinese literature and continues to influence university curricula and classroom instruction throughout Asia.
