商品簡介
Baptism has wide appeal for general readers, especially those with an interest in China. Written in a direct and fast-moving style with vivid characters and universal plot motifs, it will also be a welcome addition to university courses in modern Chinese literature or Chinese history and politics.
Baptism is the only novel written by the distinguished Chinese woman playwright, essayist, and translator, Yang Jiang. Born in 1911, she has experienced the entire sweep of China's turbulent twentieth-century history. Passages from this novel have already been quoted, in English, in books about the period. Her memoir of life during the Cultural Revolution has been translated twice and widely read.

名人/編輯推薦
""An important contribution to twentieth-century Chinese literature, Baptism's compelling story of thwarted romance and broad social conflicts set in post-Second-World-War China offers a feminist and humanist critique of the politics of possessive individualism and of the revolutionary ideology of the masses that had set out to overcome it. In this complex portrayal of complicit, although apparently opposed, value worlds, the novel's ironic, satirical edge both savages a spectrum of Chinese intellectuals scrambling for survival in a new China and yet discovers a moral center in the delicate sensibility of its heroine, a holdover from a pre-Communist era, promising a possible future when individual integrity can be recovered."" – Shirley Geok-lin Lim, Author of Among the White Moon Faces and Sister Swing; Professor, University of California, Santa Barbara
""Set in the early years after the Communist revolution, Baptism is at once a satirical indictment of intellectuals – whose hypocrisy, pettiness, and arrogance might seem to justify the need for a political 'cleansing' – and a sympathetic portrait of how they cope with a new and nasty political culture that demands ideological purity and uniformity. The novel is both humorous and terrifying."" – Kirk A. Denton, Associate Professor, The Ohio State University
