Beijing Comrades - Scott E. Myers

Descriere Beijing Comrades - Scott E. Myers

\n \nThe sensational underground novel of homosexuality in late-1980s China that's been declared one of the most significant Chinese novels of our time (The New York Times). \n \nWhen Handong, the ruthless, wealthy son of Communist party officials, is introduced to Lan Yu, a na ve, working-class architecture student, the attraction between the two young men is instant and all-consuming. Despite their very different lives, they spend their nights together, establishing a deep connection. But when their loyalties are tested, Handong is left questioning his secrets, his choices, and his very identity . . . \n \nBeijing Comrades is the story of a tumultuous love affair set against the sociopolitical unrest of late-eighties China. Due to its depiction of gay sexuality and its critique of the totalitarian government, it was originally published anonymously on an illegal gay-themed website within mainland China. \n \nThis riveting and heartbreaking novel quickly developed a cult following, and remains a meaningful excavation of homophobia and daily life in a rapidly changing China, and a traditional story of forbidden love in all the most classic, wonderful, and devastating ways (Publishers Weekly, starred review).\n
