[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]An ARC of “A Beast Slinks Towards Beijing” by Alice Yang, to be published early next year. It’s sort of magical realism about several generations of a Chinese family during WWII, the cultural revolution, and then immigrating to States. I like it a lot, though parts of the narrative (particularly during the war, and then later on during the cultural revolution) are really, really horrific and hard to read. [/quote] Ooh, I love a good magical realism and will be all over this! I read Lisa See’s Shanghai Girls (which had some of the lead up to WWII as well as immigration to the US) and its sequel (which covered the Cultural Revolution), so I definitely hear you on the “horrific” parts. A fascinating time in history, though. [/quote]
