"My memory of the last decade was that if I shut myself in for a
month, the world would change beyond recognition". What the young
Shanghai-based writer Mian-Mian said in an interview with Time-Magazine
last September is certainly true for every youngster in China. The 29-year
old chronicler of China's chemical generation reflects the harsh realities
of post-Mao material China in her boooks about wretched love affairs,
hard drugs, promiscuous sex and suicide. The former party queen now lives
on the outskirts of Shanghai, where she regularly writes columns for newspapers
and novels. Her first novel "Lalala" has just been translated
into German. English, French and Spanish translation are planned to be
released soon. |
