Beijing Coma
A Novel
Ma Jian; Translated by Flora Drew
Picador
"Ma Jian has accomplished something extremely difficult. That is, he has created a work of art that functions simultaneously as literature and call to action . . . You wish that copies of this book could be distributed along the route of the Olympic torch's progress toward the upcoming Beijing games, an event that might not be taking place had the world not succumbed to the seductions of forgetfulness—the same dangers and temptations that Ma Jian's hero, and his novel, struggle so valiantly to resist."

The Interpreter
A Novel
Suki Kim
Picador
“Suki Kim’s debut novel,
The Interpreter
, is a melancholy study of a young Korean-American woman’s alienation from both her Asian roots and her American environment. It’s also a murder mystery. That Kim makes these two aspects of the novel work together suggests that she’s a writer to keep an eye on . . .
The Interpreter
is clearly the work of a gifted writer.”—

The Last Days of Old Beijing
Life in the Vanishing Backstreets of a City Transformed
Michael Meyer
Walker & Company
“Michael Meyer’s voracious curiosity has led him deep, deep into a vanishing world that other visitors and foreign correspondents almost all see only from a taxi window. He comes at it with a wide knowledge of history, a thirst for people’s life stories, a novelist’s ability to evoke a social universe, and an Arctic explorer’s willingness to live through a sub-zero winter with little heat and the nearest communal toilet far down a snowy lane. This is a stunning, compassionate feat of reportage which will long endure.”—
Adam Hochschild, author of
King Leopold’s Ghost
and
Bury the Chains
