It’s a love story and a study of seismic social change…[that] gestures to a new direction for the novel, all in prose so pure and purposeful it passes straight through into the bloodstream.”—The New York Times Book Review RIVERHEAD PAPERBACK • 240 PP. • 978-1-59463-233-4 • $16.00

MA J IAN The Dark RoadTRANSLATED BY FLORA DREW

Far away from the lights of Beijing and Shanghai is a vast rural hinterland where life goes on as it has for generations, with one difference: “normal” parents are permitted to have only one child. Ma Jian, who traveled to rural China to see how the state enforces its decree, writes a haunting novel of the tragedies befalling families at the hands of China’s one-child policy—and of human endurance and resistance to injustice despite cruelty. “Ma is adept at jolting our senses, transporting us, with a few words about a pain, a taste or an odor, to those parts of China, and millions of people, who exist on the far fringes of the economic miracle.”—The New York TimesPENGUIN PAPERBACK • 384 PP. • 978-0-14-312540-2 • $17.00

CHANG-RAE LEE On Such a Full SeaExploring his long-standing interests in identity and culture, Lee steps outside the realis-tic, historical territories of his previous works to bring us into a vividly imagined future America—a country strictly stratified by class and labor colonies. “In his latest and boldest novel...Lee’s characters are Chinese immigrant workers in the United States—specifically Chinese workers from a long-elapsed China toiling in a fast-declining America a century or so from now. For Lee’s heroine, Fan, the issue is not acclimatization but self-discovery. [Her] adventures...together with a bleak but arresting vision of the future, keep the reader rapt and concerned for the fate of both beleaguered character and battered brave new world.”—Minneapolis Star TribuneRIVERHEAD PAPERBACK • 432 PP. • 978-1-59463-289-1 • $16.00
