The Cook, the Crook, and the Real Estate Tycoon
Winner of the Mao Dun Literature Prize<BR><BR>The Cook, the Crook, and the Real Estate Tycoon by the acclaimed prize-winning novelist Liu Zhenyun, is a gripping portrayal of contemporary China through the lens of one man’s unexpected discovery. The protagonist, Liu Yuejin is a work site cook and small-time thief whose accidental find of a flash disk chronicling a web of high-level corruption sets off a convoluted chase. Set against the economic extremes of modern China, the novel navigates the murky waters of deceit and power, showcasing the stark divide between the super-rich and the migrant workers who fuel their success.<BR><BR> There are no heroes in this scathing, complex, and highly readable critique of the dark side of China’s cutthroat capitalism, corruption, and the plight of the underclasses. The Cook, the Crook, and the Real Estate Tycoon, adapted for a movie and television series in 2008 in China, is a story that resonates across mediums and cultures.

Someone to Talk To
Tofu peddler Yang Baishun is a man of few words and few friends. Unable to find meaningful companionship, he settles for a marriage of convenience. When his wife leaves him for another man he is left to care for his five-year-old stepdaughter Qiaoling, who is subsequently kidnapped, never to be seen by Yang again. Seventy years later we find Niu Aiguo, who, like Yang, struggles to connect with other people. As Niu begins learning about his recently deceased mother’s murky past it becomes clear that Qiaoling is the mysterious bond that links Yang and Niu. Originally published in China in 2009 and appearing in English for the first time, Liu Zhenyun’s award-winning Someone to Talk To highlights the contours of everyday life in pre- and post-Mao China, where regular people struggle to make a living and establish homes and families. Meditating on connection and loneliness, community and family, Someone to Talk To traces the unexpected and far-reaching ramifications of seemingly inconsequential actions, while reminding us all of the importance of communication.
