"Waves", Bei Dao's first major work of fiction, is a haunting, lyrical study of disillusion and despair among China's "lost generation" -- written during the last stages of the Cultural Revolution. Bei Dao is one of the most gifted and influential of the new generation of Chinese writers. The stories in "Waves" offer a candid and vivid portrait of love and life in contemporary China. "Waves" will strengthen his growing reputation in the West.'
