01 May / The Columbia Anthology of Modern Chinese Literature edited by Joseph S. M. Lau and Howard Goldblatt [in Bloomsbury Review]
Here’s the updated second edition of what was already considered the definitive overview of modern Chinese literature in English translation, with representative writing from mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. With China poised to become a dominant world player in the 21st century, this anthology is a great introduction to some of the very best in Chinese language fiction, poetry, and essays.
