Reviews

"""For those who have read Lu Xun, seek to understand him, and have been confounded by perplexing paradoxes in his work, this book will be illuminating and enlightening."" Géraldine Fiss, University of Southern California ""By recasting Lu Xun as engaged in affirmative biopolitics, this illuminating study discovers the evolutional and naturalistic foundation of modern Chinese culture. Lu Xun’s biopolitics sees biological life as a source of power and energy that fuels and enriches human culture and institution."" Ban Wang, Stanford University"
