Dear Reader, America I hear is a youth driven culture. As a Chinese I'm not certain where that comes from but what I know is that in China, youth is diminished by a collective society. It lasts about three years, after which you're under pressure to get married and find a job and contribute to society. In my new novel TWENTY FRAGMENTS OF A RAVENOUS YOUTH, the heroine Fenfang left a peasant life at the age of seventeen to chase her dreams in modern Beijing; she is in a terrible rush to make the most of her youth before it's too late. She's a youthful character but she has a sixty year old sorrow. Ideology is something very profound that you can't change overnight. Please visit my www.guoxiaolu.com for more information about my book, or my publisher's website: www.nanatalese.com for a reader's guide and Q and A. Also five lucky readers will win a free copy of my new book. Write in to xiaoluguoreaders@randomhouse.com to enter. Meanwhile I do hope you'll want to read TWENTY FRAGMENTS OF A RAVENOUS YOUTH, Many thanks! Xiaolu Guo |
