Pathlight: New Chinese Writing (Spring 2014) - Peoples

3/5 ( ratings)

The Spring 2014 edition features work by ethnic minority writers and
poets. Some are tales of the customs and histories of other people:
Mongolian herders in Ayonga's "To the Goat-Dipping," a satirical take on
facial hair's role in Uyghur society in Memtimin Hoshur's "The Mustache
Dispute," and Artai's poems of the grasslands. Others are sober
reflections on the place of minorities in Chinese society: migrant
workers in Li Jinxiang's "Changing the Water," Patigul's recollections
of her own childhood sense of identity in "Life of a Mimic," and Yerkex
Hurmanbek's terrifying "Painless," the story of a child endangered by
the fact she feels no pain.

Language: English

Pages: 268

Format: Kindle Edition

Publisher: Paper Republic
