Paperback. Condition: New. Banned in China for its taboo allusions to the Tiananmen Square massacre, Sheng Keyi's Death Fugue is a lyrical and explosive dystopian satire that imagines a world of manufactured existence, the erasure of personal freedom, and the perils of governmental control.One morning a nine-story tower of excrement of unknown origin appears in the center of Dayang's capital, Beiping. The government swiftly scrubs the scene of all evidence and hands down its final word: Do not ask questions; dissent will be punished. But the crowd gathered in Round Square to witness the Tower Incident for themselves only grows and soon explodes in unrest. Poet Mengliu and his girlfriend Qizi join the uprising, but thousands disappear in the brutal crackdown that follows, including Qizi, the newly appointed protest leader. Mengliu abandons poetry and revolution but never gives up hope that Qizi may still be alive.Years later, on his annual journey in search of Qizi, Mengliu washes ashore in the idyllic country of Swan Valley, a world of dreamlike beauty, perfection, and youth. But the dream becomes a nightmare as he slowly begins to unravel the secrets of Swan Valley, discovering that the perfect society exists at a deep, inhumane cost.Boldly absurdist yet eerily prescient, award-winning author Sheng Keyi's Death Fugue barrels out of the void left by generations of state-imposed silence in modern-day China, where it remains banned from publication. It is a rogue artist's answer to a profound question of our times: What is the role of art after atrocity?

Death Fugue (Paperback)
Language: English
Published by Giramondo Publishing Co, Artarmon, 2014
ISBN 10: 1922146625 ISBN 13: 9781922146625
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Published for the first time in English byGiramondo, Death Fugue is the boldattempt by a prominent Chinese novelist to confront the legacy of protest and suppressionwhich haunts her generation.Sheng Keyi was born in Hunan province in 1973 andlives in Beijing. Death Fugue is her sixth novel, and the second to bepublished in English translation, after Northern Girls (2012). It is a bravework of speculative fiction, a cross between Cloud Atlas and 1984, scathingin its irony, ingenious in its use of allegory, and acute in its understandingof the power of writing. The imagination that drives it is exuberant and unconstrained.In a large square in the centre of Beiping, thecapital of Dayang, a huge tower of excrement appears one day, causing unease inthe population, and ultimately widespread civil unrest. The protest, in whichpoets play an important part, is put down violently. Haunted by the violence,and by his failure to support his girlfriend Qizi, who is one of the protestleaders, Yuan Mengliu gives up poetry in favour of medicine, and the antisepticenvironment of the operating theatre. But every year he travels in search of Qizi,and on one of these trips, caught in a storm, he wakes to find himself in aperfect society called Swan Valley. In this utopia, as he soon discovers, impulseand feeling are completely controlled, and every aspect of life regulated forthe good of the nation, with terrible consequences.Reviewed here in the New York Times Published for the first time in English byGiramondo, Death Fugue is the boldattempt by a prominent Chinese novelist to confront the legacy of protest and suppressionwhich haunts her generation.

Condition: Fair. Beschriftungen / Markierungen; Wasserschaden / Verschmutzung; Leichte Risse; Deutliche Verbiegung. >>Sheng Keyi ist eine Geschichtenerzahlerin, die bereit ist, Tabus zu brechen.Die Gebarmutter< erzahlt das Schicksal der Frauen einer Familie, die wahrend des 20. und 21. Jahrhunderts in einem Dorf in der chinesischen Provinz Hunan aufwachsen. Grossmutter Qi ist in der Qing-Dynastie gross geworden. Als Madchen hat man ihr die Fusse gebunden, nun kann sie sich nur trippelnd fortbewegen. Schon in jungen Jahren verliert sie ihren Ehemann, unterdruckt fortan all ihre eigenen Bedurfnisse und wird daruber zu einer harten, kalten Frau. Ihre Tochter Wu Aixiang wird ebenfalls jung Witwe und kummert sich allein um ihren Sohn und die funf Tochter. Zu ihrem schweren, entbehrungsreichen Leben treten gesundheitliche Probleme, deren Ursache eine nach der Geburt ihrer letzten Tochter zwangsweise eingesetzte Spirale ist. Und auch das Leben von Wu Aixiangs Tochtern wird durch die Familienpolitik der Regierung und die Frage der Fortpflanzung bestimmt. Als die Tochter des einzigen Sohnes von Wu Aixiang - die vierte Generation der Familie - ungeplant schwanger wird, diskutiert ein Familienrat, ob sie das Kind bekommen soll. Sheng Keyi schildert Gesellschaftskonflikte, ausgetragen am Korper der Frau, und erzahlt vom Kampf um Freiheit und Selbstbestimmung.
