Product Description
‘Hong Kong has a soul and this anthology proves it.’ ‘City Voices has poignant, gorgeous, stunning, disturbing, exhilarating writing.’ City Voices is the first showcase of postwar Hong Kong literature originating in English. Fiction, poetry, essays and memoirs from more than 70 authors are featured to demonstrate ‘the rich variety and vitality of the city’s literary production’. Together with work from established authors, both bilingual writers who choose to write in English and expatriate authors who have made Hong Kong their home, a section of ‘New Voices’ introduces the work of unknown and young writers who are part of today’s surge of new creativity.
Customer Reviews
A strange and fascinating collection of stories and writings from the interface of the English language world and the Chinese language world. There cannot be many university published books that put Jackie Chan alongside Xu Xi and obscure among the obscure, Lawrence Gray!The books is a sort of testament to the heroic persistence of English language writers in China, where they have no home market whatsoever.
