"Scott Myers's translation of this landmark work of Chinese queer fiction does not disappoint. A pure joy on a literary level, this is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding sexual diversity beyond the West." --Fran Martin, associate professor and author of Backward Glances: Contemporary Chinese Cultures and the Female Homoerotic Imaginary "A candid, courageous exploration of the conjunction of love, money, and politics in a pivotal moment in postsocialist China." --Sheldon Lu, professor of comparative literature, University of California at Davis, "While Beijing Comrades provides a meaningful excavation of homophobia and daily life in a rapidly changing China, it is ultimately a traditional story of forbidden love in all the most classic, wonderful, and devastating ways." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "A melancholic parable in which desire and self-interest reconfigure revolutionary ideals and unbridled investments in a neoliberal new world order." --David L.

A pure joy on a literary level, this is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding sexual diversity beyond the West." --Fran Martin, author of Backward Glances: Contemporary Chinese Cultures and the Female Homoerotic Imaginary "A candid, courageous exploration of the conjunction of love, money, and politics in a pivotal moment in postsocialist China." --Sheldon Lu, author of Chinese Modernity and Global Biopolitics, "One of the most significant Chinese novels of our time." --New York Times "While Beijing Comrades provides a meaningful excavation of homophobia and daily life in a rapidly changing China, it is ultimately a traditional story of forbidden love in all the most classic, wonderful, and devastating ways." --Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Beijing Comrades is both a valuable piece of global gay history and a political phenomenon... But the universal themes, and the deeply personal rendering of the story, endear the characters to us in ways quite distinct from the book's importance as a monument of literature and queer theory." --Lambda Literary Review "The novel moves seamlessly from humor to frantic passion to sorrow, and Myers's use of language captures these disparate emotions perfectly." --LA Review of Books "The book falls significantly higher on the erotica spectrum than Fifty Shades of Gray.... Created on a website, crowd-sourced in serial, Beijing Comrades is the people's public fantasy of intimacy." --The Millions "A melancholic parable in which desire and self-interest reconfigure revolutionary ideals and unbridled investments in a neoliberal new world order." --David L.

- i***d (639)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Mes pasadoCompra verificadaGreat experience. DVD arrived in record time and well packaged. It loaded instantly. I recently tried loading 10 dvd's after a year and 5 didn't load. The seller advertised that he checked every disc before sending it. I found some strange scratches around the center hole (I've always searched the body of the disc for horizontal scratches). The seller wouldn't acknowledge my messages and he didn't accept returns, so I lost that money. Thanks for being honest and a seller who accepts returns.
