At its best, the book spurs scholars to question long-held assumptions about what literature is, how it can be talked about, and who is doing the talking. --China Review International Author InformationYingjin Zhang is Associate Professor of Chinese, Comparative Literature, and Film Studies at Indiana University, Bloomington.
