Exquisite, earthy stories... Ma writes brilliantly * Independent * At the heart of Ma Jian's stories, there is both humanity and a piercing, if painful, literary truth * Guardian * Ma Jian...creates a stunning vision of a culture too easily and dangerously airbrushed into the ideals of others * Scotland on Sunday * All [these stories] are fascinating windows on the soul of a dying people * The Times * Deadpan yet shot through with subtle empathy and flashes of humour, surreal and unearthly yet steeped in a physicality so immediate that I flinched on at least one occasion. Beautiful...lean style...not a single wasted word...oustanding * Irish Times *
