Reviews
Praise for Waiting Winner of the National Book Award and the PEN/Faulkner Award "A simple love story that transcends cultural barriers. Convincing and rich in detail, [it is] filled with an earthy poetic grace." --Chicago Tribune "Waiting has the stripped down simplicity of a fable. It casts a spell that doesn't break once. Jin has the kind of effortless command that most writers can only dream about." --New York Times Magazine "A high achievement indeed." --Ian Buruma,New York Review of Books "Achingly beautiful. Ha Jin depicts the details of social etiquette, of food, of rural family relationships and the complex yet alarmingly primitive fabric of provincial life with that absorbed passion for minutiae characteristic of Dickens and Balzac." --Los Angeles Times Book Review "Luminous [and] eloquent. [Waiting] provides a crash course in Chinese society during and since the Cultural Revolution, and a more leisurely but nonetheless compelling exploration of the less exotic terrain that is the human heart." --Francine Prose,New York Times Book Review "[A] suspenseful and bracingly tough-minded love story. Poignantly allegorical." --The New Yorker "Extraordinary. A remarkably austere love story, suffused with irony and subtlety. Reminiscent of Hemingway in its scope, simplicity and precise language. A vivid bit of storytelling, fluid and earthy, [it is] a graceful human allegory." --Chicago Sun-Times, Praise for Waiting Winner of the National Book Award and the PEN/Faulkner Award "A simple love story that transcends cultural barriers.

Synopsis
From the National Book Award-winning author ofWaiting, a new collection of short fiction that confirms Ha Jin's reputation as a master storyteller. Each of The Bridegroom's twelve stories--three of which have been selected for inclusion in The Best American Short Stories--takes us back to Muji City in contemporary China, the setting ofWaiting. It is a world both exotic and disarmingly familiar, one in which Chinese men and women meet with small epiphanies and muted triumphs, leavening their lives of quiet desperation through subtle insubordination and sometimes crafty resolve. In the title story, a seemingly model husband joins a secret men's literary club and finds himself arrested for the "bourgeois crime" of homosexuality. "Alive" centers on an official who loses his memory in an earthquake and lives happily for months as a simple worker; when he suddenly remembers who he is, he finds that his return to his old life proves inconvenient for everyone. In "A Tiger-Fighter Is Hard to Find," a television crew's inept attempt to film a fight scene with a live Siberian tiger lands their lead actor in a mental hospital, convinced that he is the mythical tiger-fighter Wu Song. Reversals, transformations, and surprises abound in these assured stories, as Ha Jin seizes on the possibility that things might not be as they seem. Parables for our times--with a hint of the reckless and the absurd that we have come to expect from Ha Jin--The Bridegroomoffers tales both mischievous and wise.
