Conspiracies abound in a community that normalizes paranoia and suspicion. Some try to flee—whether to a mysterious gambling bordello or to ancestral homes that can only be reached underground through muddy caves, sewers, and tunnels. Others seek out the refuge of Nest County, where traditional Chinese herbal medicines can reshape or psychologically transport the self. Each life is circumscribed by buried secrets and transcendent delusions.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eCan Xue's masterful love stories for the new millennium trace love's many guises—satirical, tragic, transient, lasting, nebulous, and fulfilling—against a kaleidoscopic backdrop drawn from East and West of commerce and industry, fraud and exploitation, sex and romance.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"hushpuppyUpsell_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"hushpuppyUpsell\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"hushpuppyUpsell\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"hushpuppyUpsell_feature_div\" data-csa-c-asin=\"\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-csa-c-id=\"1rpl8r-p4l961-1nxajo-ift44r\" data-cel-widget=\"hushpuppyUpsell_feature_div\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"richProductInformation_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"richProductInformation\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"richProductInformation\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"richProductInformation_feature_div\" data-csa-c-asin=\"\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-csa-c-id=\"y0kkgh-lyl2p7-nau6r4-r009dx\" data-cel-widget=\"richProductInformation_feature_div\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"rich_product_information\" class=\"a-section a-spacing-none celwidget\" data-csa-c-id=\"2848jb-55v57u-alirew-dpsiod\" data-cel-widget=\"rich_product_information\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ingram Book Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52081137582311,"sku":"Fiction: China","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0724\/3680\/9959\/files\/81agjPf63GL._SL1500.jpg?v=1779304596","url":"https:\/\/jfbooks.org\/products\/9780300278262","provider":"JF Books | 季風書園","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
