&#34;An excellent and much needed contribution to the field of Chinese and comparative literary studies that provides reading pleasure as well as fertile ground for further literary research and discussion.&#34;&#10;&#8212;Birgit Linder, Chinese Literature Today&#10;&#34;This well-conceived volume tells us much about Xu Xu, the times in which he lived, and it is a delight to read.&#34;&#10;&#8212;The&#160;Journal of Chinese Humanities&#10;&#34;In Xu Xu&#8217;s stories, the narrators can recall the time that&#8217;s gone, and through their sorrow find &#8220;luster and warmth&#8221;.&#34;&#10;&#8212;The Asian Review of Books&#10;&#34;Mystical, other-worldly, and fascinating.&#34;&#10;&#8212;The Portland Book Review&#34;Beautifully crafted with deep feeling and great skill, [Xu Xu's stories] shine with a brilliance that dazzles.&#34;&#8212;Yuan-tsung Chen, author of The Secret Listener: An Ingenue in Mao's Court&#10;&#34;Written in a witty, light-hearted tone, the story high&#173;lights how Hong Kong was romanticised as a city of new beginnings and businesses &#8211; a place where diligence, hard work and integrity could pay off. This is where many like Xu Xu, sick with longing and trauma and facing a harsh new world, could begin to heal themselves.&#34;&#10;&#8212;South China Morning Post&#34;This outstanding anthology, with its informative, engaging, and well-argued introduction and afterword, can be at once a welcome source and textbook for scholars and students who are interested in twentieth-century Chinese literature and global literary modernity, and an enjoyable and pleasant book for all readers, who will certainly be deeply touched by the imaginative splendor and otherworldly sanctuaries that Xu Xu&#8217;s stories create.&#34;&#8212;Yanhong Zhu, China Review International&#10;&#34;Unknown writers are only unknown to those who cannot read them. Windows open when a translator unlocks them. That has happened here. Green&#8217;s engaging translation of stories by novelist Xu Xu allows readers of English to understand&#8212;finally&#8212;why he is so popular and important in China and Hong Kong. The collection includes a wide, wonderful range of topics, times, geographies, and styles. These are stories that illuminate and captivate.&#34;&#10;&#8212;Howard Goldblatt, a Guggenheim Fellow, is an internationally renowned translator of Chinese fiction, including the novels of Mo Yan, the 2012 winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature&#10;&#34;With style, humor, warmth, and pathos, Xu Xu turned the mid-century Chinese experience of revolution, war, and displacement into compulsively readable pop modernist romances. In this volume of translations, Frederik Green brings this unique and imaginative modern voice and his world to vivid life for English readers for the first time.&#34;&#10;&#8212;Andrew F. Jones, Louis B. Agassiz Professor of Chinese, University of California, Berkeley&#10;&#34;Xu Xu was a writer poised between worlds, a chronicler of exile and diaspora, witness to the vibrant ferment of a British Hong Kong, and the phantoms that haunt what was once a Japanese Taiwan. Foreshadowing many a Chinese ghost story, and foreseeing many a cross-cultural romance, Xu&#8217;s stories were both snapshots of the past and uncannily visionary predictions of our present.&#34;&#10;&#8212;Jonathan Clements, author of&#160;A Brief History of China&#10;&#34;One of the most widely read Chinese authors of the mid-20th century finally available in English translation. A delight for scholars and general readers.&#34;&#10;&#8212;Chris Wen-chao Li, D.Phil., Oxford University. Professor of Chinese Linguistics, San Francisco State University&#10;&#34;Xu Xu&#8217;s fiction opens a window onto Shanghai&#8217;s roaring 1930s, China&#8217;s War of Resistance against Japan, and the post-war experience of Chinese exiles in Hong Kong. Highly recommended.&#34;&#10;&#8212;Jianye He, Librarian for Chinese Collections, University of California, Berkeley&#10;&#34;An intriguing selection of short fiction by one of the great storytellers of modern China and postwar Hong Kong, elegantly translated and prefaced with an insightful and engaging introduction.&#34;&#10;&#8212;Jennifer Feeley, Ph.D, Yale University and translator of Xi Xi&#8217;s Not Written Words
