Description:
An immediate sensation upon publication in China, I Love Dollars makes high comedy out of modern everyday life.
In the title story, a young man, acutely aware of his filial duty, sets out to secure a prostitute for his father, only to haggle his old man out of a good time. This and other stories amplify China’s identity crisis in post-Mao settings ranging from an old Yangtze River vessel to failing factories, cheap diners, and a for-profit hospital run according to dated socialist norms.
Through a cast of brilliantly drawn characters, Zhu Wen’s stories create a vivid portrait of contemporary China – its wealth and poverty, humour and chaos.
