Mao's Harvest cover

This volume is one of the first collections to reach the West of the stories, essays, and poems published by writers of the "Mao Generation"--the first generation of Chinese to grow up under socialism. Drawn from both official Chinese literary journals and underground magazines, these previously untranslated stories provide a fascinating portrait of China in the seventies.

An excellent selection....The genius of Mao's Harvest lies in its careful choice of literary works. One cannot read such works and remain unmoved. * Houston Chronicle *
A very useful and enlightening anthology...strong in content and intelligent in presentation...an indispensable text for anyone involved with the tragic drama of modern China. * William N. Rogers II, San Diego State University *
