"Banned in China for its candid exploration of a young girl's sexual awakening, Beijing Doll cuts a daring path through China's rock-and-roll subculture. This headline-making autobiographical novel takes readers to the streets of Beijing where a disaffected generation spurns tradition for lives of self-expression, passion, and rock-and-roll. Chun Sue's explicit sensuality, unflinching attitude toward sex, and raw, lyrical style break new ground in contemporary Chinese literature."--BOOK JACKET.

Work Description

From Penguin Random House: "Banned in China for its candid exploration of a young girl’s sexual awakening yet widely acclaimed as being “the first novel of ‘tough youth’ in China” (Beijing Today), Beijing Doll cuts a daring path through China’s rock-and-roll subculture. This cutting edge novel — drawn from the diaries the author kept throughout her teenage years — takes readers to the streets of Beijing where a disaffected generation spurns tradition for lives of self expression, passion, and rock-and-roll. Chun Sue’s explicit sensuality, unflinching attitude towards sex, and raw, lyrical style break new ground in contemporary Chinese literature."
