Critical Praise

"In this particular well-written, beautifully translated novel, the only weapon of mass destruction is Western popular culture."

——Candy

Mian Mian is perhaps China's most promising young writer.... Her stories deal with issues - sexuality, drug abuse, China opening to the world - that touch the core of her generation's experience.

——International Herald Tribune

"Mian Mian's realm is one of wretched love affairs, hard drugs, promiscuous sex and suicide. Her work is revolutionary for the People's Republic, and her own tale is one of personal liberation, excess and redemption."

——Sydney Morning Herald Magazine
