English language edition.
Translation. xiii + 252pp, hardback, tidy signature front endpaper, edges lightly browned, corners bumped, still a good copy in dustjacket, with enclosure. Half of Man is Woman is a novel about one man, a writer, who some years before the book opens has been sent to an agricultural labour camp in north-west China because he dares to write poetry. "For the Western reader, there is much to admire in Half of Man is Woman. There are extraordinarily lyrical descriptions of the landscape of northwestern China; vivid portraits of camp inmates and peasants as they live their daily lives; and a poignant portrait of a love affair, wrought out of impossible circumstances, doomed to failure."
