This translation first appeared in hardcover in 1988. Mass Market Paperback. Zhang Xianliang (1936 2014) was a Chinese novelist, essayist, and poet. Zhang began publishing poetry at the age of 13. During the Anti-Rightist Movement, in 1957, his poetry was criticized as counter-revolutionary, and Zhang was sent to a labor camp in Ningxia at age 21. He was subsequently detained several more times, and ultimately spent 22 years in prisons and labor camps. During the events of the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989, he expressed sympathy with the protesting students, resulting in the ban of his work "Getting Used to Dying" until 1993. He served as president of the Chinese Writers Association in Ningxia. His most well-known work, Half of Man is Woman is a semi-autobiographical reflections on his life experiences in prison and in witnessing the political upheaval of China during the Cultural Revolution.

Translated from the Chinese by Martha Avery. 285 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Lizzy Rockwell/Kenneth Alcorn. keywords: Asia China Literature Transalted World Literature. DESCRIPTION - As the Cultural Revolution rages, a gulag of labor camps in China's remote, harshly beautiful countryside teaches 'capitalist roaders' and criminals alike 'reform through labor.' There Zhang, a 'rightist' poet, meets and (alls in love with Huang, a beautiful peasant woman jailed for promiscuity. In the jargon of the time, they are a 'calamity couple,' and their relationship becomes the lens through which we see, and feel, the warping effects of the Cultural Revolution on ordinary people. Separated for years, the lovers reunite in another outpost of the gulag. But for the poet Zhang, years of imprisonment and forced labor have meant a loss of self: he is impotent, he cannot write. Words, like human relationships, have been turned upside down. They no longer have any purpose except to make up the empty 'thought reports' by which prisoners 'rectify' themselves. The struggle of the novel is to regain possession of the self, and to reclaim the endeavor that has defined it. Written in an ironical prose, which combines a spare, humorous toughness, surrealism, and a lyrical feeling for the Chinese landscape, this brilliant, moving account of lives at the mercy of politics introduces a literary voice of world importance. The first novel of China's gulag to appear in the West, it was published in China late in 1985 to great popular enthusiam, and much controversy because of its unaccustomed frankness about sex. Since then the book and its author, Zhang Xianliang, have figured prominently in debates about the extent of liberalization in China. inventory #27577.
