He can do better

Ha Jin excels in writing vignettes that are simply refreshing to the non-Chinese reader. There are, however, better choices. I recommend the other collections like Ocean of Words and Bridegroom, which are more original and better written. Skip his novels, they tend to drag with unnecessary descriptions.

Keep the red flag flying.

I like to leave this lovely book in our bathroom at home, so when Arsenal are playing at home, my girlfriend has something to read. If you've got a wet paint warning, our your house has been left devestated by a jam raid, or maybe tuna town is inaccessbile by skin boat, or the Beetle is up on blocks, this is the book for you and yours. Thoroughly satisflying.






A Brilliant Collection of Short Stories

Ha Jin has created a collection of stories that are absolutely remarkable. "The Emperor" is a short story that ranks right beside The Lord of the Flies. With a ferocity not seen much these days, Ha Jin's short stories are forged in the same class as Dubliners by James Joyce, especially Joyce's "The Dead," but with a voice crossed between Hemminway and Dostoevsky

Winner of the Flannery O'Connor Award for short fiction, Under the Red Flag features twelve stories which take place during China's Cultural Revolution--stories which display the earnestness and grandeur of human folly and, in a larger sense, form a moral history of a time and a place.
