وصف الكتابWhat does contemporary China's diverse and exciting fiction tell us about its culture, and the relationship between art and politics? The Subplot takes us on a lively journey through a literary landscape like youve never seen before: a vast migrant-worker poetry movement, homoerotic romances by rotten girls, swaggering literary popstars, millionaire e-writers churning out the longest-ever novels, underground comics, the surreal works of Yu Hua, Yan Lianke, and Nobel laureate Mo Yan, and what is widely hailed as a golden age of Chinese science fiction. Chinese online fiction is now the largest publishing platform in the world. Fueled by her passionate engagement with Chinese literature and culture, Megan Walsh, a brilliant young critic, shows us why its important to finally pay attention to Chinese fictionan exuberant drama that illustrates the complex relationship between art and politics, one that is increasingly shaping the West as well.

The Subplot vividly captures the ways in which literature offers an alternativeperhaps truerunderstanding of the contradictions that make up China itself.
