Sobre este artículo
New York, NY: Vintage Books/Random House, 1998. 1st Edition, 3rd Printing . Soft cover. Fine/None as Issued. BRAND NEW copy. A collection of twelve short stories unifed by place and time ... the place, the frozen border between northeastern China and Russia; the time, early 1970s when the two powers were poised for war. The protagonists are the barely literate Chinese soldiers, preoccupied with food, home, sex, and political jostling, keep a watchful eye on the enemy without as they themselves are scrutinized for politically incorrect behavior and thought. A microcosm of the austere life under Mao, painted with sensititivity, humour, and wit. Ha Jin is a native son of this region. Fine copy.
