Sobre IBD

This new collection of short stories by the award-winning author of Waiting confirms Ha Jin’s reputation as a master storyteller as well as a master of the miniature. In The Bridegroom the twelve stories capture a China in transition moving from Maoism towards a more open society. For these men and women starting to feel the influence of the West the daily dramas of a system that still struggles to control their every move and thought are made all the more painful. As his characters from an entrepreneur transformed from black-market criminal to free market hero to the workers at Cowboy Chicken to the professor mistaken by the police for a saboteur continue to struggle against petty injustices and heartbreaks Ha Jin celebrates their lives and humanity with the understated humour and simplicity that has won him widespread acclaim.
