At the heart of Ma Jian's stories, there is both humanity and a piercing, if painful, literary truth
Guardian
Ma Jian...creates a stunning vision of a culture too easily and dangerously airbrushed into the ideals of others
Scotland on Sunday
All [these stories] are fascinating windows on the soul of a dying people
The Times
Deadpan yet shot through with subtle empathy and flashes of humour, surreal and unearthly yet steeped in a physicality so immediate that I flinched on at least one occasion. Beautiful...lean style...not a single wasted word...oustanding
Irish Times
Harsh, humane... Completely effective
Daily Telegraph
Exquisite, earthy stories... Ma writes brilliantly
Independent
