From the bestselling Chinese author of RAISE THE RED LANTERN
Born in 1963 in Suzhou and now living in Beijing with his family, Su Tong is one of China's most celebrated bestselling authors, shooting to international fame in 1993 when Zhang Yimou's film of his novella Raise the Red Lantern was nominated for an Oscar. Madwoman on the Bridge is his first collection of short stories ever to be published. It is to be followed by his latest novel, Check, a violent drama set in the aftermath of the Cultural Revolution, to be published by Doubleday in 2009.
What i admire most is Su Tong's style ...delicate yet bizarre. His
strokes are restrained but merciless. He is a true literary
talent.
*Anchee Min*
Su Tong writes beautiful, dangerous prose.
*Meg Wolitzer*
For RAISE THE RED LANTERN, 'A remarkable story, subtle and
profound'
*The New York Times*
Sensual and tragic
*Sunday Times*
Su Tong's evocation of one family's destiny in 1930s China is stark
and vivid in the extreme. A chilling and macabre tale,
characteristically told with imagination and unflinching
honesty
*Time Out*
